Yesterday, I finished reading Michael Vey: The Colony by Richard Paul Evans. The tenth and final book in the series, this science fiction novel concludes Michael Vey's adventures. In the devastating aftermath of their fight against the Chasqui, Michael and the Electroclan are still trying to solve the mystery of Abigail's abduction. While they are mourning the loss of friends and allies, they return to the U.S. to regroup. After learning Cassy's heartbreaking diagnosis, they piece together what little evidence they have and figure out that Abigail is being held by Chispa, the leader of a group of other electrics in a place known at the colony. With Grace's help, they also learn the history of the colony and what powers the other electrics have. Upon making a plan, they go back to Peru to meet up with Alpha Team to rescue Abigail.
The conclusion of the Michael Vey series was absolutely spectacular. With incredibly high stakes, the story was so suspenseful. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. Because they had never faced other electrics before and the dream Taylor had at the beginning was terrifyingly ominous, I wasn't sure if the Electroclan would succeed this time, but I knew they had to at least try. Even though they were the enemy, it was fascinating learning about the colony's past and why they would abduct Abigail out of all the members of the Electroclan. Although I came to understand the reasons for why the colony would do such a thing and their past was heartbreaking, it didn't excuse their actions and Chispa especially came across as insane as his true colors were revealed to Michael. The twist at the end was amazing. I loved it so much and I've rarely been so satisfied with an entire series. If you love science fiction and adventure, you can't miss this series.
