In this novel that unites characters from "The Giver" and "Gathering Blue," Matty, a young member of a utopian community that values honesty, conceals an emerging healing power that he cannot explain or understand.

Seis años antes, Mati llegó a Pueblo siendo un niño rudo y astuto. Pero, desde aquellos tiempos, se ha transformado en un joven honrado bajo la tutela de Veedor, un ciego que debe su nombre a su extraordinaria percepción.

Conflicted...

2 stelle

I’m very conflicted about this book... as a “companion” to The Giver it falls totally flat. As a novel it its own right it’s... fine. I enjoyed The Giver and Gathering Blue as separate works, and was excited to read this to tie them together but it feels so disconnected from the worlds of both. There were also passages that directly conflicted with the previous book, really disappointing from an editing standpoint.

If this was presented as its own story I may be able to give it a 3 or 4 star rating. But it’s the third book of a quartet and it just doesn’t hit the standard that The Giver sets.
