HAs anybody else read the books? I just finished reading all of them and I'm not exactly sure how to feel about the ending.

I got through 1 and 2 and halfway through 3? Maybe finished 3? But I got really confused when the monster thing was introduced.

i've read up to monster (which i'm 90% sure is the most recently published book? i think a villain and hero will be published later) and honestly, i like the themes and overall tone of the books but yeah, the original ending (in light) was kinda lame. also, it was almost overly violent at times? yeah, i get it, it's a lord of the flies x stephen king love child, but dang. sometimes i really didn't want to know everything.
overall, they're good. a few rough spots (as with most books), but i didn't mind them.
[an early edit: villain is out apparently lol, i never read it and don't really plan to. i think monster was the weakest book and i thought that light was a fine (albeit boring) ending to the series and i didn't really see why he needed to bother with a whole new arc.]

What's it about? I'm looking for more series to get into. I still need to finish Wings of Fire :c I'm no good at explaining things so I just looked up the best description: "The series is centered on the fictional Southern Californian town of Perdido Beach, in which every human aged 15 and older vanishes. The town and surrounding areas become encased within an impenetrable energy barrier, with many of its inhabitants developing supernatural powers. The books follow the exploits of the protagonist, Sam Temple, as he battles antagonists Caine Soren and Drake Merwin, as well as a mysterious, malevolent creature, known as the Darkness or the gaiaphage (gai-uh-fage) (derived from Gaia, a Greek personification of the Earth, and "phage", from the Greek φαγεῖν phagein "to devour").
The first novel in this series, titled Gone, was originally published in 2008. The second book, Hunger, was released a year later, followed by the third book, Lies, on May 4, 2010. The fourth book, Plague, was released on April 5, 2011. The fifth book, Fear, was released on April 3, 2012, in the United States, although it was released as early as March 23 in Australia and Hong Kong. The sixth book, Light, was released on April 2, 2013."

those books DEFINED my middle school life basically. we had a teeny library (and teeny class sizes) so when one book series got popular, all the kids wanted to read it. one at a time, kids would take the books and binge read them. every class was like a GONE book club. personally, i never got past the 2nd book, but god this thread resurfaced some memories.
