Sure thing, everybody!That's a good question, Experiment. I don't know, is it worth continuing? I was okay with how this one ended. I've never even looked at reviews for Gathering Blue and Messenger, I suppose I should.
I enjoyed the series as a whole. I dont know about everyone else, but I liked Messenger better than Gathering Blue.
Rebecca, the fourth one isn't even out yet, right? Is there a cliffie at the end of book three, or should I wait until the last one is released?And you're welcome, Alyssa & Cory!

I did not know there was a fourth. I thought it was tied up pretty well at the end of Messenger.
Hah hah, don't you love how information spreads here Angela? I don't know what I would do without GoodReads. :)That's good to know about Messenger, Rebecca--I might go ahead and read the next two, then. I've seen this series described as a quartet, though I can't find info on the fourth book.
Yeah, I just looked it up and found it after you mentioned it. I think when I last visited The Giver on GR it still said (The Giver #1) instead of (The Giver Quartet #1).
Thank you for the heads up! You've always got your finger on the pulse of Kindle awesomeness. And a sequel? Woohoo~
You're welcome, Lorena and Andi! It's such a great deal, I hope a lot of people are able to take advantage of it.
Oh my, one of the best books of all time in my opinion. In relatively few pages, it managed to pull at ALL of my emotions. So few books can manage to do that.
I have read Gathering Blue and The Messenger, neither one come close. The Messenger was better than Gathering Blue, IMO. I am eagerly awaiting book 4.
I actually really liked Gathering Blue, but that was mostly because of all the fiber arts. I was completely fascinated.
Thanks for the heads-up! I keep trying to check this out for my kindle from our library system. I dutifully waited my turn twice, and didn't manage to get it onto the K either time it became available. Spending 25c is well worth it at this point!
Although dang, it's telling me $4.70. I guess I'll try again via the library, because I'm too cheap to spend that much on books I can borrow...
You're very welcome, everybody--I'm glad that a lot of you seemed to have been able to take advantage of the deal.I'm so sorry, Tricia, I guess they took the offer down by the time you clicked on it. I think sometimes they do that when they've reached a certain amount :(
Thanks for the feedback on the sequels, Dani and Sesana! I will have to reread this one and go forth with the next two soon. It's not too much longer to wait for the final book.
