The Reverians #3
Warriors
Austin Valley appears as it always has, but Em Fuller knows that appearances aren’t what they seem. She knows under the surface, that cracks are starting to form in this seemingly well-manicured society. She’s responsible for creating these cracks and for planting a slow dissension among many of the residents of this once happy city. Broken in a way Em never thought possible, she turns into a well-calculated, strategic leader. With the help of the brightest minds in Austin Valley, Em begins building an army whose only purpose is to protect the population of Austin Valley from their President, Victor Vider. Em firmly believes the success of her army is inevitable, that is until a new blow strikes her heart and she questions whether she has the tenacity to go on.

I think this might be my favorite Noffke book, yet! Loved it!!!
January 17, 2016
***I received the ARC eBook free as a review copy from the author in exchange for an honest review***
A phenomenal end to one of my favourite series. It made me laugh, it made me cry but most importantly it has left me happy and content – that’s not to say I’m not eagerly awaiting Ren’s novella and anything else Noffke will send our way (because I am).
Never again will I go into one of her books anxious about how things will play out or if characters will finally grow a pair and admit their feelings *looks meaningfully at Zack* because I couldn’t have hoped for better. As is life we don’t know the endings to everyone’s story and for that I’m glad because it will allow this series to live on in my head; though we are witness to enough that I know where my favourite characters are now.
It has been an incredible journey, with so many unexpected turns that continue through this final novel. Finding out people’s backstories and yet more secrets emphasised how complex this world and its people Noffke created are, making for a read that kept me invested throughout. And how could you not be?
I only finished a couple days back and already can’t wait to re-read sometime, feeling nostalgic thinking about the characters. Zack made a real lasting impression on me with his quiet inner strength that made a difference to so many people which complemented Em’s so well. Even though Rogue made no appearances, I loved the part he played in their beautiful story.
Overall this book was undoubtedly beautiful, not only in the way it was written, but played out and concluded.

*Many thanks to Sarah Noffke for giving me an eCopy of her amazing book!*
“I only ever save you because I can’t live without you. My reasons are purely selfish.”
This is the third book in the trilogy and thank God it came out soon after I finished book number 2, because that ending had left me in a state of shock to say the least!
I think it's fair to say that for almost the first half of the book I was so frustrated with Em and Zack, that I wanted, if possible, to jump in the pages and start yelling at them! Well, now that I'm thinking about it, I did that out loud while I was reading the book and I have to say that my husband was giving me some strange looks ( well more than usual if you know what I mean! )
This book was a real page turner as everyone is getting ready for this war. More revelations take place and Sarah Noffke had a play again with my emotions! I was upset and frustrated in the beginning and then sad and anxious of what's going to happen and in between all that I laughed as well! It was a real roller coaster!
I can't go into details because of spoilers, but I can honestly say that that was one of the best endings in a trilogy! I loved it! Plus Zack plays a big part in this book which was a bonus for me!!! *wink*

What?! I hope you have recovered from book 2....because, WOW! How do you follow that up? Well, in true Sarah Noffke fashion she has given you an ending that will make you bite your nails (and possibly make you threaten said author, lol) while you are trying to decompress from book 2 and get into book 3's crazy antics. One of the biggest OMG moments for me was in book 2 with Rogue. I had to put the book down and take some deep breathes. Then we rejoin the characters in Warriors where they are trying to get this rebellion to take off. Nothing seems to be going their way and the entire town is oblivious. Em is really put to the test with new twists and turns around every corner. She is getting some unexpected help and comes across some very hard to deal with confrontations. The characters are easy to relate to, the story building in this series puts you right in the middle of the action, and the emotions you feel throughout will give you one heck of a book hangover. A must read!!!!

I received a copy of this book for an honest review.
After finishing Rebels I was devastated. I mean how was Em going to move on after that loss. Em and Zach had to find a way to continue with the rebellion and deal with the loss of their best friend. They are convincing Defects not to convert to middlings and instead join them in the takeover. None of this would be possible without the help of Ren and Parker. Did I mention I love Ren and his sarcasm and how Em plays right into it.
Em has grown, lost and learned so much through this long battle. She has learned to love those she can trust and betrayal by those who should love her the most. Em Grandma, Tutu lets her in on the family secrets. Can I say I was shocked to find a few of them out. One was a shocker but then thought nope I can believe it and see that happening (gotta love Em's Mom...said sarcastically). That was a good twist I never saw coming. To see Tutu and the spirit in the house interact was inspiring and that story had tears in my eyes.
I so enjoyed the passages with Parker's mother, Soon-hee, her spunk and tell it like she sees it was great. She didn't hold things back especially when she saw Em doing things wrong. Nona was such a strong, spunky, smart girl we saw grow into a young woman, she was always by Em side and didn't have issues calling someone out if she didn't believe they were fighting for their cause. Then we have Zach the best friend that was always by Em struggling with his feelings for her especially when Em was with Rogue. He is dedicated to the Rebellion and gives up so much to gain information about their corrupt government. He dates Em sister, Dee, to gain place in the government and with Em Dad. I wanted to yell at him for some of the things he agrees to do and breaks Em's heart in the process. His heart is in the right place trying to help but puts so much stress on Em in the process.
I absolutely enjoyed this series. Seeing Em and Nona going from Defects wondering if they would ever gain their gifts, to realizing how corrupt their world and father was, learning secrets along the way and then seeing them grow up into strong, independent, war plotting young women. I would love to hear all of Nona's story. We saw her quite a bit in this series but would love to know more about her and her story. I'm not ready for this series to end.
A few of my favorites:
A sharp spasm shoots through my back and I stop and reach for it like I might find a knife there. The muscle is tight under my fingers. “That’s what you get for sleeping on lumpy sofa,” Soon-hee says over the whistle of the kettle. “What was I supposed to do, cuddle up in bed with you?” I say. “The floor is much better option. The hardwood is good for your spine. Provides support,” she says. “Then why didn’t you sleep there?” I say, pushing my tangled hair out of my face. “Old back needs less support and old mind needs more comfort.”
“You’re a genius,” Nona says in awe. I stick my ear up against the cold metal door, listening for any Middling activity on the other side. “Zack’s the brains. I’m just the freak with nothing left to lose and
therefore every reason to put myself in danger.” I push the door open a few inches to gauge the scene on the other side. “You could still lose me,” Nona says in a tortured whisper. I flip my head around to face her. “That is never going to happen.”
“Thanks for saving my life back there.” He claps a hand over my arms around his neck. “Don’t thank me,” he says, a cold edge in his voice. “I only ever save you because I can’t live without you. My reasons are purely selfish.”
“What are you laughing at?” Zack asks. “Because all my life I thought I was a Defect, a mistake,” the girl says. “And now I’ve just healed the person who set me straight. I almost committed suicide the day I was supposed to be converted. But I’m too much of a coward. And then you, Em, told me the truth, gave me a choice, and I’ve never felt more like living. I love how life comes around, intertwines us all.”

***This audio book was given to me in exchange for an honest review****
4.5 stars
I can't believe...
Wow, this was a special series! I absolutely loved it! There were well developed characters, interesting world building and magical system and not one but two heart warming love stories (without there being that sticky love-triangle dynamic).
Like the book preceding this one, this book starts months after the end of the last book. In this missed space of time a lot of the war effort happens. I understand why the author does this (both times), but I couldn't help but feel like I would have rather she covered these periods of time. So the book start out with Em and Zack well into the war effort and making headway bringing down the government. The whole thing played out in a very beautiful and epic way, but again, I wanted a little more. A little more of the other rebels, a little more of the middlings and their transformation into revolutionaries. Also I would have liked a little more exploration into the time travel.
But, I guess if your biggest complaint about the end of a series is that you'd like there to be another book, the series is pretty darn good.
The narrator of this audiobook series is excellent as well!

Obviously, I LOVED IT! I'll write a more complete review when my Nook is fully charged and it isn't 3:35 a.m. but I couldn't put it down!
13.5 hours later...
This was amazing! Don't be fooled by the fact that it took me over a month to finish this (if not more.) Were it not for health concerns, I would have gone through it in a day or so - it's that good!
I predicted in Defects that Nona and Zack might end up together.
I found a few tear-worthy moments in this book, of course, because I'm me.
Sadly, I'm fairly certain I've failed to include numerous points I'd intended to make in the rather (outrageously really) lengthy course of my reading of this one - all the way from a beta read to an obnoxiously late R&R. With all my ailments, I truly just lost track of a lot. I can safely say that Ms. Noffke never fails to impress me with her characters or stories though! I know there was a quote or 2 I enjoyed quite a lot and Soon-Hee was spectacular comic relief.

I'm pleasantly surprised at how the quality of this series has remained consistent throughout. I'd say the highlight for me is the characters: they're endearing and memorable and make you wanna root for them.
I also felt like the plot was crafted very well; especially towards the end.
I was a little put off by the romance aspect at first; Em is a bit oblivious in that regard, but even that had a few surprises that were delightful.
Notes:
(Warning: mild spoilers below)
a. I think it's cool that you never think of these people solely in terms of their abilities. Zack is never "the telekinesis guy", Nona is never "The girl who controls water" because they're developed as characters first. Their abilities are secondary to who they are as people and the relationships they have with each other. Kudos!
b. Now that I'm done with the series I wanna go find Austen Valley, visit Rogue's house, and meet Soon-He and (keep a healthy distance from) Ren Lewis.

*FREE ARC FROM AUTHOR*
After the tragic events that took place, Em is more determined than ever to destroy Vider and give Austin Valley its freedom. As her courage grows and her attacks become more effective, Vider starts to fear this simple Defect that has managed to start a rebellion on her own. Armed with her own intellect and determination along with her most trsusted friends, Em will have to rally more residents if she wants to win the fight. But the more she fights, the more she forgets that her wound will not heal unless she opens up to others. Em will grieve, but she will have to accept the fact that she has a purpose and that she will not be able to do it alone.
Em really brought this Rebellion stuff to a whole other level!!! She started with Rogue, Zack, Nona, Parker and Ren. Now? She has dream travellers and humans on her side! Despite being the leader of the group she doesn't just side around in a high chair and orders everyone around. In fact, Em is the one who does most of the work as she individually tries to break Vider's mind control over the population. She doesn't force the dream travellers to join her rebellion, she makes them aware of the fact that they have been brainwashed and gives them a choice; something Vider has stolen from them. Em's maturity has really surprised me in this book, she really surpassed the idea of being a "Defect". I also appreciated the fact that no matter how strong and courageous Em became, the author kept reminding us that she is just a teenager and grieves like everyone. She's not this invincible and untouchable force, Sarah has created a really grounded and relatable character! I am just so proud of Em!!!
The author really made my heart skip a beat numerous times in this book! The action was OFF THE HOOK! Everything was just perfectly orchestrated! They complemented the character's strengths and weaknesses and defined them more. Nona and Ren <3 True heroes! Needless to say i seriously panicked when i learned that something had happened to them! The writing kept me at the edge of my seat, dreading the next chapters, because you kept having this foreboding feeling that something epic would happen.
Which brings us to the villain, Vider. The action was no less than spectacular but the reason behind that dread you felt when you read the book all rooted from Vider. He was an immensely evil character-more than Snow from Hunger Games! His character had a background, a real depth and a real cruelty that gave him such a powerful image. This in fact made Em appear more courageous to us! So yeah, Vider definitely makes my lift of Best YA Villains!
The romance in the book did not take central position but it was in the background, serving as a reminder of all that Em had lost and all that she could still have.
A breath taking conclusion to a thrilling series! Just when i thought the author couldn't touch me more with this book, the last two pages broke my heart again and i just felt so happy at that beautiful yet bitter ending! It just really ties everything together for me, just a PERFECT ending that almost teared me up all over again! I will seriously miss these characters...Any lover of dystopians should try this series because believe me, Em Fuller is no less than Katniss Everdeen or Tris Prior!

*I was given a copy of the book from the author for an honest review!*
Well, Ms. Noffke, here we are, at the end.
.
.
.
Or, is it?
I'd like to think of it as a new and better beginning because I'm wise and $hit.
Now, seriously, could you just stop for a minute and be a little less evil, I mean, C'MON, you are just like a little bottle of evil essence. You always bring forth in me these urges to cry, and laugh, and throw things, and smash people's heads, I think they're called FEELINGS. OMG. Do you realize what you've done? I should call the Evil Police and have you arrested. How dare you make me feel so much???
After blowing my head off in
, of course I could practically see your evil grin when you snatched my heart and squeezed the still beating organ in your fist, I now have to witness the best ending a series has to offer.
Till now I thought you were just a gifted human being making a life out of writing absolutely amazing books but now I know better, you're a freaking alien. Yep, life on Mars has been confirmed.
And of course I know that when reading your books one must lock herself up in the basement otherwise one's husband and child will think one has gone crazy with all the fist pumping, and yelling and crying and laughing, and table slamming (I couldn't slam my Kindle). So one has learned a good life lesson: DON'T LET OTHERS SEE YOUR CRAZY SIDE, THEY'LL THINK YOU'RE CRAZY AND MAKE WEIRD FACES AND TALK BEHIND YOUR BACK IN HUSHED WHISPERS.
Anyway by the end of this kickass adventure I was on cloud nine and I think I might have promised my husband a chocolate fudge cake and lasagna. I really should not read your books in my living room anymore, people take advantage of me. But I'll make him wash the dishes *insert evil grin here* and I'll make sure to use more than I actually need.
There shouldn't be a reason for you to think I didn't love the book or the characters after all that. I do, I do love them so much. Em, you are the epitome of brave and loyal and fairness, and Zack, baby boy, I'm so proud of you (eventually, after you grew a pair), Nona I want to read your book when you grow up a little, Parker I'm sure you'll find your dream girl, you deserve it. Tutu and Rogue, I will love you and keep you in my heart because you deserve it. I just get so happy when everything goes as planned.
And let's not forget REN, why do I have to love the creepy bastard? Ok, he's not creepy, maybe a little socially inept or something. I can't wait for his book. He's made himself a place in my heart and I just can't shake him off.
You really made me happy Ms. Noffke, so thank you, thank you so very much for honoring me by letting me read your books.
Well, Ms. Noffke, here we are, at the end.

Till now I thought you were just a gifted human being making a life out of writing absolutely amazing books but now I know better, you're a freaking alien. Yep, life on Mars has been confirmed.
And of course I know that when reading your books one must lock herself up in the basement otherwise one's husband and child will think one has gone crazy with all the fist pumping, and yelling and crying and laughing, and table slamming (I couldn't slam my Kindle). So one has learned a good life lesson: DON'T LET OTHERS SEE YOUR CRAZY SIDE, THEY'LL THINK YOU'RE CRAZY AND MAKE WEIRD FACES AND TALK BEHIND YOUR BACK IN HUSHED WHISPERS.
Anyway by the end of this kickass adventure I was on cloud nine and I think I might have promised my husband a chocolate fudge cake and lasagna. I really should not read your books in my living room anymore, people take advantage of me. But I'll make him wash the dishes *insert evil grin here* and I'll make sure to use more than I actually need.
There shouldn't be a reason for you to think I didn't love the book or the characters after all that. I do, I do love them so much. Em, you are the epitome of brave and loyal and fairness, and Zack, baby boy, I'm so proud of you (eventually, after you grew a pair), Nona I want to read your book when you grow up a little, Parker I'm sure you'll find your dream girl, you deserve it. Tutu and Rogue, I will love you and keep you in my heart because you deserve it. I just get so happy when everything goes as planned.
And let's not forget REN, why do I have to love the creepy bastard? Ok, he's not creepy, maybe a little socially inept or something. I can't wait for his book. He's made himself a place in my heart and I just can't shake him off.
You really made me happy Ms. Noffke, so thank you, thank you so very much for honoring me by letting me read your books.

Warriors picks up a few months after Rebels. Em is still trying to lead the rebellion whilst coming to terms with Rogue’s death. Things are moving along quickly. Working with the trusted doctor, Parker, her uncle, Ren, Nona, and Zack, Em is convincing as many kids as possible to avoid conversion to Middlings. If they choose to remain Rebels, Parker will inject them with a harmless fluid, and eventually they will finally receive their gift.
Em is working non-stop, forcing herself to her very limit. Zack and Nona are concerned with how much she is taking upon herself, but she is determined to fight the battle herself and Rogue started, and finally win this war.
This is the final book in The Reverians series, so I had high expectations, and I was not disappointed. Em was on strong form throughout this story, doing everything within her power to bring Vider down. I love how much she has developed over the series, and you get to really see how far she’s come in this final instalment.
I’m not going to lie, I desperately missed Rogue. He was such a huge part of the first two books that I got so used to him being there, with all his wit and charm. It made me resent Zack a little when he had to step up and do more, because even though he wasn’t, I felt like he was replacing Rogue.
However, this book did change my opinion on Zack. He got himself into a serious situation with
Em’s sister, Dee, and how he dealt with it and resolved it made me admire his character. He proved how much he truly cares for Em, and was willing to do anything whilst fighting at her side.
The final few chapters had me on edge, desperate to know how things would play out. Em’s final showdown with Vider did not disappoint, and I adored the comeuppance that Em had in store for him. It was perfectly genius.
The epilogue for this story was beautiful, wrapping up the series brilliantly. There is a scene with a tree (and that’s all I’ll say, because spoilers), that was seriously emotional, and a perfect goodbye to the characters. They’ve offered me a little bit of everything; heart-stopping action, a gripping rebellion, and breath-taking romance. I’ve loved joining them on their journey for justice. I’m so thankful to Sarah for once again sharing her awesome stories with me!

What a finish! Better then I could imagine!
When you know there is going to be a war you have to be prepared to be on the edge of your seats while reading and I was for this book. Any chance I could to read during a break, after work, on the weekends, anytime I could get I was reading this book. I could not wait to find out how the final show down was going to go.
With the ending of Rebels you had to suspect Em did not have anything to lose. She was ready to do whatever it took to get the upper hand and that is what she did. From the start of this series I knew Zack and Em were meant to be. They were always hiding their true feelings and those couple scenes between each other were heartbreaking but well written. The way you could feel how Em felt and the power that coursed through her just from the words off the pages.
I loved this story. I loved the characters and the way they went about ending this war. The surprise twists that happened; I didn't see coming at all. I thought I knew what was going to happen and all the secrets were already out but Sarah kept a couple more for the end.
Everything fit together and was smooth through out the book. All the characters coming together and finding out what needed to be done and getting it done. Even when they were met with a speed bump they continued on because they knew they had to. This book has a great meaning behind it. It has a great underlying story about how governments can do these things and how the people can up rise against if you don't listen to the people.
Overall a fantastic read and wonderful story. You will not be disappointed.

Well, this was just beautiful. I'm honoured I received a copy from the author in advance - this was such a gift :)
We've now followed Em through 2 books and countless moments of suspense, heartache and joy. Now's the time for rebellion. It's actually hard to say anything without spoiling a lot of content but here's as much as I can say:
If you liked book 1 and 2, the third installment won't disappoint. It's just as strong as the first two books, if not stronger. Em is still Em though she is less clumsy and more of a leader. Sweet Nona has grown up quite a bit and turned into a sassy young woman. We get to know Parker and his family a bit better. Em's tutu reveals the secret she's been keeping. In fact, you can expect many secrets, twists and turns, most of which unanticipated (which is an achievement in dystopian novels nowadays).
All in all, "Warriors" was much more than I'd expected. I'll give it 4.5 stars because even though it had almost everthing an extraordinary book needs, it still didn't feel entirely real. I was wondering for example how Em can just stay in Austin Valley and run around quite a bit without her cover ever being blown. How Zack could keep his secret from Em's dad and President Vider with their abilities. I felt it was a bit more wishful thinking from the author than actual logic. However, I didn't mind much. I still enjoyed the series tremendously and I am still in awe of some of the ideas the author has had. Keep writing, Sarah Noffke!

Em has been working steadily to gear up for a rebellion behind the scene during the 3 months since Rogue’s death. Her commitment to freeing the Defects and the destruction of President Vider is aided by her best friend, Zack, her sister, Nona, Dr. Parker, and her snarky uncle, Ren. With several heart wrenching revelations thrown at her will Em be able to succeed?
Noffke’s third and final book in The Reverian series, Warriors is a heart-pounding, roller coaster ride of emotions and action. The story is fast-paced and an easy read. Noffke does an excellent job of making the reader experience what Em is going through as she struggles with the results of her actions which don’t always go as planned.
Em was certainly a flawed protagonist and sometimes I did not like her. She luckily came through despite herself on more than one occasion. Fortunately, she was surrounded by cooler heads that kept her safe for the most part. This book is a fitting conclusion to her journey. I will most definitely miss Ren and Tutu, as well as the loveable Nona. Zack and Em – not so much.

Warriors, by Sarah Noffke is the third and final book in the heart-pounding Reverians Series. I’m so incredibly in love with these stories, that I’m a little sad I had to read the ending – I wish there was more!
Picking up just a few months after the second book ended, Em is confronted with a new reality of loneliness and heartbreak while struggling to triumph in a world without the man she just lost. She learns new insight into her families past, and works to keep her emotions in check while being an absolute bad-ass. Noffke does a great job balancing the needs and growth of each character, right up until the final battle. The love the main characters have for each other fuels each new twist in the plot, while a burning hatred against the overreaching government officials propels you to turn the page (or keep listening, in the case of the audiobook). Eventually the tides turn, and Em must race to stop the conversions, finish the war, and rescue her uncle and little sister before it’s too late.

I was given this book in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
5* may not be enough. I am completely in awe of Sarah. I can't believe any one person had such an imagination and the gift of putting it into book form. This book is so intense in places I held my breath. I ran the gambit of emotions reading this.
The characters are intriguing and captivating. Each one brought something powerful to the story. Even the villians.
I love Em. How can one girl be so powerful and yet so relatable? She is so real, so brave, so strong and so broken.
Zach is the most stubborn loveable rock you can imagine.
Nona (needs her own novella!!!!) She is wise and kind. She is the glue that keeps Em together.
Ren my favorite arrogant Britt!!!
I was anxious reading this one. I wasn't sure what was going to happen and was caught by suprise a few times. It's hard to review this one without giving away spoilers. This is the perfect way to end this trilogy. Which im hoping for some spinoffs.

I've now read everything that Sarah has released and I can honestly say that each book is better than the previous. Em is an amazing, take-no-prisoners, take-no-BS-from-anyone protagonist who really steps into her full potential in the final book in this series. She overcomes seemingly insurmountable challenges, obstacles, and heartaches and somehow manages to come out changed but improved on the other side.
For everything Sarah takes away from the reader she gives us something back two-fold...and she manages to do it while avoiding trope and cliché. You will experience the emotions that Sarah's family of characters dole out, and you too will come out better on the otherside. I can't say enough about how much I've enjoyed reading through Sarah's first two series in the Dream Traveler universe. Looking forward to the next one!

I got this book for free in exchange for a honest review.
Another great book by Sarah Noffke! This is the last book in the series, and it didn't disappoint. I was hoping for one ending, and for a while I didn't know if it would happen. The characters are awesome and they make you want to know them. If you are not sure if you will like this book, give it a shot I think most people would really like it!

Great final installment. Love reading a book when you think you know what might happen but then it takes you by surprise. There was a lot of that with this whole series. Things wrapped up perfectly and damnit that last page almost had me in tears! Looking forward to future writings by Sarah Noffke!

review to come!
October 9, 2015
4.5. Another great book and one of the sweetest endings ever.
Plot:
Em returns to Austin Valley after Rogue's death to continue the rebellion. Everything seems to be coming together. She works with Ren to iron out the different aspects of her plan, while relying on Zack to get inside information and evidence to put Vider away. She also finds out from Tutu how she and her sisters fit into the Reverian prophecy. When she suffers another unexpected loss and Zack makes a huge sacrifice to further her cause, Em must decide how far she is willing to go to save the Defects and avenge Rogue's death.
Characters:
Rogue isn't even in the book, and he is still one of the best book boyfriends ever! Em continues to be everything you'd want in a YA heroine, only this time, she is a lot more vulnerable. While Nona stays true to character, Zack, Tutu and Ren are somewhat different than they have been in the previous books. Tutu turns out to know a lot more than anyone thought, and she reveals several huge secrets that could help turn the tide of the rebellion. Ren still acts like he doesn't care, but we see a much softer side of him. The person who changes the most though is Zack. He's always had a quiet strength about him, but in Warriors, he proves how brave he is and just what a threat he can be.
In terms of villains, Vider is still very menacing and all-knowing. Dee was actually less volatile than I thought she'd be. And even though Mr. Fuller wasn't much of a threat this time, Em's mother really took over for him.
Writing:
Warriors has a misspelled word here and there but nothing that takes away from the story, which becomes more and more suspenseful as the book goes on. If I had to rate the book, I'd give it a PG or a PG-13. While it's clean enough for younger teens, it includes some language and a lot of violence.
The Bottom Line:
Warriors really kept me on the edge of my seat, and I finished the book in two days because I had to know what happened. It's hard to give away too many details without spoiling anything. I will say that even though I had an inkling how some things would turn out, parts of the book felt a tiny bit awkward to me. That awkwardness lessened the more I read, and by the end of the book, it was completely gone. Even without Rogue, Warriors was pretty much the perfect ending to a great series.

I have received a copy of this book in audio format in exchange for an honest review.
In the previous book, after Rogue's death, we left Em, Zach and Nona at the head of the rebellion. Nevertheless, their initial efforts at destroying the drug injected to the defects are not enough since President Vider has taken more drastic measures by surgically modifying defects to become middlings without a will. The future of the people in Austin Valley depends on them, but things will not be easy.
If the previous book was a transition, this one is the conclusion to the story, and we see that sometimes, the smallest people, the unseen, could help to make a difference. Like the previous two books, this one is also steadily paced, not overloading the listener but also not leaving many idle moments. Words are beautifully knitted together creating an unforgettable story where Em, Zach, Nona and some others fight for a fair world.
The story flows harmoniously, and listening it from the voice of Elizabeth Klett is a real pleasure. Her voice and the story are very powerful to hold your attention, making it light at the same time. This is one of those books that I could listen from the beginning to the end in one sit.
This trilogy deserves to be in a place of consideration regarding modern fantasy. It is also cataloged as Young Adult but older adults will enjoy it too, since the young couple romance part is not too overwhelming. I would recommend these books to anyone who enjoys a beautifully written story with which also feels fresh and hopeful.

What a spectacular ending to a fantastic series. I don't even know where to start or what to say. Going into it I didn't know what to expect. I went in cold. Totally blind but once I started I couldn't get enough. The characters were solid and relatable. I felt like I really got to know them. The book was steadily paced and full of action. I was never bored. There was constantly new and surprising information revealed. I was always kept on my toes but not to the point where I was so confused that my head was spinning and I didn't know what was going on. There was even some romance and it was totally appropriate and unforced. It wasn't shoved in your face in a way that felt forced or unnatural so that it was just something that would be included for the hell of it.
The narrator of the audiobooks was also amazing. She was on point with all the characters particularly Em. She expressed her personality and emotions with such ingenuity. It was done very well. Over all the the whole series was very well produced. I enjoyed it a lot and can't wait to read more by this author.

Stunning Conclusion to a Powerful Series
I thoroughly enjoyed this series conclusion. The strong characters and immersive world draw you in and demand your attention. I simply did not want to put this book down and am sad to say goodbye to some of my favorite characters in quite some time.

Good conclusion to a good series. I loved the last half of this book with the overthrow of President Vider.

Awesome end!
This book,like the ones before it, went places i has not expected on its journey towards the perfect ending. If you haven't read the series before this one (see reading guide included at the end of this book) I highly encourage you to plunge in! Each book has brought more and unexpected turns to the story of the dream travelers. I don't want to give away anything but i will say that if you start at the first series, the Lucidites, it will bring so much richness to stories that are already awe inspiring and memorable reads. I first read Suspended but have gone back to read the books that came before it before finishing the series. I must say that it was incredible aa stand alone series but my curiosity less me to check out the beginning of the Dream Travelers series. Now i can speak from experience to say that doing this has made me look forward to going back and re-reading the Vagabond Circus series. But first,I'm headed at this time to read the Ren series. He has already become a favorite, and wwell developed, character that I'm looking forward to finding out more about him.
I v first fell in love with the prose of Sarah Noffke through the many series she has written in the universe created by Michael Anderle and Martha Carr. Especially love her current series she is co-authoring with Michael Anderle, the Beaufort series. Hee previous novels, the Dream Travelers, have been on my TBR (To Be Read) for a while but while waiting for the next Beaufort novel to be released, (and being able to pick up box sets of a couple of the series for fan pricing along with Sarah's gift of a few Audible bids) I was motivated to check Dream Travelers out .
I highly record anyone interested in sci-fi, paranormal, and even romance to check out Sarah Noffke's novel. They are all accessible on Kindle Unlimited if you aren't sure. I can't imagine you'll be disappointed. And while you're at it, check out her Dream Travelers Facebook page. Hope you enjoy these series as much as I have!

Especially love her current series she is co-authoring with Michael Anderle, the Beaufort series. Hee previous novels, the Dream Travelers, have been on my TBR (To Be Read) for a while but while waiting for the next Beaufort novel to be released, (and being able to pick up box sets of a couple of the series for fan pricing along with Sarah's gift of a few Audible bids) I was motivated to check Dream Travelers out .
I highly record anyone interested in sci-fi, paranormal, and even romance to check out Sarah Noffke's novel. They are all accessible on Kindle Unlimited if you aren't sure. I can't imagine you'll be disappointed. And while you're at it, check out her Dream Travelers Facebook page. Hope you enjoy these series as much as I have!
