Rate this book
Suspense meets sacrifice in the final two adventures of The 13th Reality series by the New York Times bestselling author of The Maze Runner;now available in one exciting edition!

What if every time you made a choice that had a significant consequence, a new, alternate reality was created the life that would've been? What if those new Realities were in danger? What if it were up to you to save all the realities and in turn, the entire universe?

Atticus Higginbottom, a.k.a. Tick, was living a regular life until he learned about the 13 Realities. After the near catastrophe in the Fourth Reality, things have changed even more. Tick’s being homeschooled in the fields of science, trying to master the mysterious Chi’karda. Just as he begins to make progress, Mistress Jane reappears, hideously scarred and much more powerful. She has tapped into the universe's darkest secret to create the Blade of Shattered Hope, and in her quest to attain a Utopian Reality for the future of mankind, she's ready to risk billions of lives including those of Tick's parents and sisters to set her plan in motion. Tick and his friends are faced with their most dangerous task yet. And they must not fail; for if they do, the entire universe could cease to exist.

Join Tick in the final two books of the acclaimed The 13th Reality series.

More of the same in this. It just doesn't have that grip of suspense and action like Maze Runner did. Probably one of the worst series I read.

I love, love, love, love, love, love, love this series! The third and fourth book dove right into the action and kept me hooked at every turn. I had no idea what was going to happen next. I definitely didn't see the ending coming. I will be rereading this series in years to come.

The first book of this series was a little slow to get going, but by the 3rd and 4th in THIS double book, the story was more interesting and had me hooked a little better.

Good story overall (all four books). Can't say it would be a re-read, but I'm glad that I did.

I have to give this book only 4 stars because I really do liked it but I did not appreciate even a bit the ending. It was so sad. I am hoping for a better ending than what has happened. Huhu can there be a book 5 just for me to see that Tick lived a good life and even his family.

The story continues. Love the way the author writes and there is a new twist practically at every chapter. A real page turner.
