I was thoroughly impressed with the writing, action, and narration of this book! Authors Matt and Lauren did a great job continuing the characters’ stories in a way that flowed seamlessly from chapter to chapter. There were tons of opportunities to theorize what would happen next, which is always something I look for in a book. Information from book 1 was important in book 3, which reassured me that I have been working toward something over time. Amy Hutchins’ narration was spot on and had me both laughing and tearing up. Thanks to Matt and Lauren for creating this world and to Amy for bringing the characters to life 💙💚

It's rare to find a book trilogy that can keep it's momentum and high level of quality throughout it's entire run but Parallax: Evolution is one of those success stories! It masterfully moves the characters we have grown so attached to through a high octane set of adventures that keeps us engaged and excited the entire time. Secrets are revealed and relationships are tested and strengthened. It's gives enough satisfying conclusion while also leaving us thinking...wait, is there more? The answer is: we want more!

I was a lucky part of the live narration of this amazing story. The rollercoaster of this book keeps you on the edge of your toes and keeps your brain questioning from one chapter to the next. It was an amazing experience to watch these characters grow through their crazy journey.
I cant wait for the release so I can maybe catch on to things that may have went over my head the first time.
Absolutely amazing job Matt & Lauren!
