The username storyline follows a girl named Evie discovering an app her Father made called the E.scape. This app was meant to be a place for Evie to escape for hours on end inside the game but only minutes in real life.

The username storyline follows a girl named Evie discovering an app her Father made called the E.scape. This app was meant to be a place for Evie to escape for hours on end inside the game but only minutes in real life. After the events of the first book and the escape of the e.scapes outcast in the second it brings us onto the third book. The third book follows Evie, Mallory, Lionel and Jaspar as they try to figure out how the e.scape as ripped portals throughout the world, fight the army coming through it and how to save the world.

Uprising in my opinion was an alright ending to the username trilogy, it left the series open for one's own interpretation but if wanted would allow the author to continue the series. The main things I liked about this books was how it brought a message to the reader that related to the real world, how there was also some typical teenage problems before and the relationships that grew between the characters. I also liked how the book kept me wanting to continue reading. Throughout this book it talks about the idea of how we are to connected to our devices and don’t realises or see anything that happens around us. In the first part of the book we see the Knox (an e.scape outcast left in the real world) noticing these things, partly because they didn’t really realise he was there. Knox decided to put this to a test, he shot someones drone with his bow and arrow and the only thing people were worried about was if someone got it on video. I really thought this speaks of the world now a days because we may go down that same track as we are so fixed on using devices. During this book the world also experiences a total black out, after only 29 days the president of the country the book is set it says we must put devices in our history. For me I thought that he was giving up to easy, but then again at this time there was also a portal that ripped into the world and they were most likely sparked by that too. One of the nice things to see at the start of Uprising was normal typical teenage problems. After the last two books centered around the escape it was nice to see the worry about things other than an app. They were complaining about cleaning up the hall and toilets after their prom/ball, Mallory and Jaspar had broken up and they were trying to ignore but impress each other after as well as Lionel and Evie being stuck in the middle of it. Even when we first see the portals from the escape to the real world we see Evie locking herself away in her room for the majority of the time because she thinks it is all her fault. This showed that even then they were still only human and had consequences to past actions. One of the things I loved about the book was the relationships that grew during the crisis. Evie and Mallory were not where near close during the first and even most of the second book but throughout this one we see both of them getting along, Mallory sort of took Evie under her wing. We also see a good friendship grow between Lionel and Jaspar as well, but more importantly we see the whole gang come together after such tough times. Evie and her Mother also patch things up at the end of the book as well and have a mutual understanding of what they both have to do. One of the things I didn’t like about this book so much was how there was so many deaths and sacrifices. First it was River, then Unity and after that BOTH Evie and her Mum!! This was definitely a downside to the book because after all that has happened it ended with a sacrifice where Evie and Her Mum had to overpower the app by jumping into its core. Evie wouldn’t sacrifice Knox but she would sacrifice both herself and her mother (even though theoretically Know would then die anyway if the whole E.scape dies because he is part of the games code). The only good thing that came out of the sacrifices was the after it was done Mallory and Jaspar took Lionel in and created their new trio. Although all in saying this the ending Lionel gets a message from the E.scape so maybe Evie isn’t gone after all. The message is what I think is left for one's own interpretation because it leaves the book open with so many questions. It also allows the author to be able to continue the series again if he wishes. For me the ending was good as it meant that at least the trio new that there was hope. Other things I found about this book was that the illustrations seemed to be nicer maybe even richer. The drawings to me just seemed to have a nicer finish and looked more effective making me wanting to continue reading.
Overall this book was a great ending to the username series. It makes the reader ask questions about our world and the devices we are so attached to. It also leaves the ending with a closed but opening ending, it gives us hope that maybe there is more to come.

This series has improved with every book and I love to see that development. This was even better than the other two and it was more action packed and the storyline and the characters and the writing, everything was just better in this one. The ending night be my favorite part of all three books, it had a great meaning to it and it was also Ipren for your own thoughts, just what an ending should be like. This trilogy has been a fun Journey and I’m sad to see it go.

Wow, I'm actually speechless. This was probably my favourite book from the Username: Evie series. The pictures were and still are incredible, the story line was griping and towards the end incredibly sad. It was so good to see all the characters grow and become best of friends. Defiantly sad to see the end of this series, but was great while it lasted.

So read this at your own risk but be warned that if you really wanna read these books for some strange reason this will be filled with spoilers. So First off we are shoved back into dealing with Evie and Mal who basically for the first like 100 pages just spits cheesy morals at us. Like it's always better together teamwork is best, or it's all about being positive and the list goes on and it's so painful. AND THE BROKE UP OVER EGGS! EGGS?!?!?!?!?! Now I'm not going to talk about the bit with the underground boy's cause for the first bit that was the only thing that made me keep reading cause I kinda liked that plot though I do have the question as to WHY? and once to you do destroy earth you still want people left to rule ya? Why do you think they would bow do to you? Anyway, so we launch an attack on earth sending though some weird monster things. And truth be told I have no idea why people in e.scape are all like "we wanna kill earth" cause I know Mal made it that way at the start but really are they still deciding they hate all humans even after everything??? The answer is no they should not but these books have already proved anything can happen I wouldn't be surprised if a unicorn turned up and saved the day TBH. So Evie went and sulked in her room blaming herself for E.scape reopening and letting monsters into the real world. Somewhere along the line River dies it just kinda happens and then is never seen again and no one really seems to care. Then Evie decides to move, someone pep talks her so she gets up goes into E.scape with Unity while this random army lady is screeching about just blowing it up which would not work no matter what it's a digital portal you can't break coding with bombs unless you break the thing holding the program. That's how I persevered this mess anyway. So Evie runs in a little catfight happens and then she refuses to sacrifice and DIGITAL person to stop this mess. And I was like wait, Evie, what the heck he's not even real he's a hunk of coding gone bad he will come back fine in a few hours surely just throw him into this random room of bright light and get it over with. But NOPE! Unity goes and sacrifices herself, shame Evie this be what you get, it and low and behold it don't work!!! Cause apparently, and this is the worst bit, it needs EVIE to sacrifice herself cause the game was made for her so she needs to die to fix this....... WHY!!!! if her dad loved her why make it so SHE has to die if things go wrong. He made this world to try to save her so why would he ever dream of making her have to die to save it? My guess is Evies lost her mind and decided let's make me a hero and then died, with her mum hand in hand the jumped into a void of glowing lights together how awfully cute. And well-done everything over. And yeah end of book Evie's dead, or maybe she was sending messages to Lionel I think witch further proves my point of that wouldn't kill them but oh well let's just watch this book burn together and never ever talk about this disaster. I greatly apologize to this author, YouTuber who made it but I tried and I couldn't this book....... was not great...... at all. ...more

Title: Username: Uprising (Username #3)

Author: Joe Sugg

Genre: Graphic novel

Rating: *****

Review: Username: Uprising is the final book in the Username graphic novel series and I was really excited to see the conclusion of this series. I really loved the first book but wasn’t that keen on the second, so this one will decide the overall rating I give the series. The opening of Username: Uprising was brilliant we learn after the events of the second book Knox, one of lost boys of Escape has managed to stay in the real world and is causing chaos with the plan to take over the world using his coded brothers and by creating a portal between the virtual world and the real one which spells disaster before we even start.

Knox using his stealth and skill manages to communicate with his brothers in the virtual world who overthrow Evie’s mother and take control. Using her knowledge of Escape they force her to create a portal between the world and they begin sending avatars through to cause destruction. The portal also acts as an EMP sending the whole world into a blackout meaning the real humans are now at a major disadvantage because our world relies on technology whereas the avatars using weapons like bows and arrows or brute strength to fight.

As chaos reigns over the real world Evie knows she needs to go Escape and rescue her mother, in an effect to stop both worlds destroying each other. When she gets there she finds just as much chaos in Escape as there is in the real world. She manages to free her mother but with the portal going into overdrive, they need to shut it down cutting off Escape from the real world possibly forever but it isn’t going to be easy. As things get worse in the real world after almost a month of darkness, the Government plans to forcibly shut down the portal right at the same moment Evie and her mother are stepping through. Unknown to them the shutting down of Escape is going to claim the lives of Evie and her mother and the ending sees us witness Evie’s funeral where they Government pardon her for disobeying orders and her cousin, Mallory, her maybe-boyfriend Lionel and her old crush Jasper are there too. Evie is now seen as a hero who taught humanity how to truly be human but as the funeral draws to a close we see Lionel has a message received status from Escape, meaning that even though the program was destroyed Evie and her mother might be living in there with the avatar of her father.

This was a great ending to the series as it really ramped up the stakes for the characters and had some major “deaths”. It also leaves a nice opening so if Joe Sugg continued the series he has a nice place to start, possibly with Lionel trying to rebuild the program in order to communicate with Evie. Or he could succeed in rebuilding the program and bring the whole family back as it has been shown that avatars can survive in the real world without any affect to themselves. I hope we get something more in the Username universe soon as I really enjoyed the series overall and would enjoy reading more. ...more

Evie = Okay. Not great, but definetly more so than the rest of them. Actually has some suspense.
Regenerated = Not a lot of character growth. Mallory changes her hairdo for no reason. Apparantly I'm supposed to care about Jaspar(caspar) now. I don't. It was kind of amusing that one of the files on Evie's computer is called "J5ugg".

I was a little disappointed with this 3rd and final instalment of the username series.

I loved the illustrations of this graphic novel but I thought that the story itself lacked a bit, especially for the final book in a series.

I would have liked to see a little more character development, I think Evie and Lionel developed ok (but still more could have been done here I think). Malorie I found to be an unbearable character and a lot more could have been done with her character I think.
