Outstanding

This trilogy had me from the first chapter. Epsilon has a slightly different tone to the first two books but it's in perfect keeping with the storyline and necessary to push it to it's conclusion.

Although lengthy, these books are action packed, heart stopping and heart breaking as Samantha navigates life as a teen without superpowers like her friends, while a power-hungry villian rises against the world.

The narrator is perfect. She gives individual voice to every character and delivers emotions flawlessly - and there's plenty of them. At times, I was rolling my eyes as Samantha threw herself into yet another situation with little or no true thought (despite her intentions), but every emotion is touched upon during Epsilon and I was more than happy for the ride.

Without giving spoilers, I loved the end. Anything else would have been a disservice to characters and readers alike.

There's no way I can give this anything other than 5 stars. Whether you normally like YA or not, if you like super hero stories like the X-Men, well thought out, real characters who grow with the story, and action to keep you turning the page, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Apex Cycle.
