Review: The Perimeter
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 12 30, 2013
Riley is still as adventurous as ever in book three.  One would think that she might be a little more hesitant after her previous experiences.  But her fear nothing attitude comes in handy once again.  I loved the addition of the gypsies in this book.  A group of people that live on their own outside the walls, with their own rules and laws - but instead of behaving poorly (like raiders), they take care of their own and keep their heads down - for the most part. The strange religious cult that Riley and Luc have run into in both book one and two have decided that she must pay for her crimes against them with her life - and they have an army at their disposal to get the job done.  Book three follows Riley's current timeline as her perimeter prepares to defend itself.  It also follows a story from the past - a story that you will recognize if you have read book one.  At the end Shalini Boland merges the two timelines together seamlessly to create another great book. This seems to be the last in the series and it takes every little loose end out there and wraps them up in one fell swoop - everything tying together in an amazing way.  There wasn't as much development character-wise from Riley and her group in this one, but the other timeline was truly a study in developing a complex and dynamic character - the kind I love.  A great conclusion to the series. *This book was received in exchange for an honest review*
