Seperti kuduga sebelumnya, semya pertanyaan di buku terakhir Mara Dyer akan dijawab di seri lanjutan. Lanjutan dari seri Mara Dyer, kalau yang ini dari POV Noah. Hodkin grew up in Florida, went to college in New York, and studied law in Michigan, before finally settling in Brooklyn last year. Additionally, The Retribution of Mara Dyer was selected as one of ’s Top 10 YA Books of 2014. Lev Grossman has called Hodkin “One of the greatest talents in Young Adult fiction.” The novels were praised by Romantic Times, MTV’s Hollywood Crush, and the Los Angeles Times, and books from the series appeared on several state reading lists. The trilogy, which includes The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer, The Evolution of Mara Dyer, and The Retribution of Mara Dyer, was described as “haunting and dreamlike” by Cassandra Clare and “darkly funny, deliciously creepy, and genuinely thoughtful” by Veronica Roth. Drug use, underage drinking, and sex are mainstays in this novel.Michelle Hodkin is the author of the Mara Dyer Trilogy, which was a New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestselling series. Noah's constant references to luxury brands and places such as the Gansevoort Hotels, the DUMBO tower, and Caol Ila whiskey wear thin. Mara is portrayed as little more than a sex object. All of them come across as arrogant and profane (One sex scene takes place while a funeral is underway). It is hard to distinguish between Noah and the other young men in the story. How did these teens with superpowers get together? What are the dynamics among them? Perhaps because the narrative does not stand on its own, it is hard to develop an affinity for the characters. Without having read the previous books, this companion novel will not make much sense. Noah and his gang set out to find who is responsible. The teen's immersive visions of young people dying makes him conclude that a malevolent force is forcing teens with special abilities to commit suicide.
Unsure what to do with his newfound wealth and power, Noah packs up Mara and his buddies and goes to New York City. The novel opens with a funeral upon the death of his father, Noah inherits the considerable Shaw estate. Gr 9 Up-In this companion novel to Hodkin's "Mara Dyer" trilogy, the story picks up not long after the series end, with the point of view shifting from Mara's to Noah's.
