Review of 'Messenger' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

The third book in the series of four, but actually seems to be a satisfying stopping place for a trilogy. It centers around Matty, the tyke Matt from "Gathering Blue", and is set predominantly in the Village which is where he found "the blue" in the previous book. This book answers for us what happened to Matt, Kira, and her father, and also other characters including Jonas from "The Giver". As we follow Matty we also come to see the problems developing in the formerly idyllic Village which are caused by people thinking more of their own selfish wants than how they can help others, and the Village starts to talk about closing its borders to newcomers. As the disharmony within the Village seems to become reflected in the apparently magical forest that surrounds it, dangers and difficulties ensue.
