Hybrid Chronicles By Kat Zhang

This is the final book in the series, Hybrid Chronicles. I have already the second book briefly in a prior blog post. These three books, What's Left of Me, Once We Were, and Echos of Us are all about a society in a different time line occurring at the same time as ours. This could be debatable but Zhang mentions the "Great Wars" and all these other historical allusions, but they are all somewhat altered to form her society.

 Two souls in one body, hybrid, that's what Addie has been deemed, her recessive soul Eva who should have dissipated around 7 years old didn't can no longer control their body but is still a voice in Addie's head. But when Devin and Hally approach her giving Addie an opportunity, Eva urges to participate, they have a drug that can let Eva take control. But almost as Eva is gaining enough power they take Addie Devin and Hally to a experimental camp where they are trying to extract one soul to "Solve" the Hybrid problem.

Zhang has an issue with keeping the rising action interesting, some parts it drags on and on. But the action or the climax in the last Book is really interesting. I found the last book the most intense and it also kept the plot moving but it also was a lot like The Hobbit By: J.R.R. Tolkin. They just kept losing each other and finding each other then losing each other then finding each other. Although I felt the ending was rushed it also concluded the series naturally not pushed. It was a dramatic ending and was not really believable.
