An amazing conclusion to an amazing trilogy.

The world that Drewery has created is phenomenal and you can tell that it has been well thought out.

I have grown to love these characters and wish to get more books in the future.

Thanks to the publisher and netgalley for allowing me to read this ARC in return for an honest review.
I have read this whole trilogy on the edge of my seat figuratively speaking and this final instalment has been no exception - I was compelled to keep reading way into the night, unable to put it down. Kerry Drewery builds a picture of an England I would be horrified to exist in where life is terminated by the apparent will of the viewers of a reality tv show. However the apparently benevolent authorities are not as bothered about justice for all as justice for the select few who can pay for their crimes to be swept under the carpet.
This is a picture of a dystopian society you will find yourself sucked into and emotionally drained by. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Wat is de Cel 7-trilogie toch een verslavende reeks. Alvorens ik aan Finale 7 begon heb ik de voorgaande boeken opnieuw gelezen. Ik vloog door alle delen heen. Kerry Drewery heeft verslavend schrijven absoluut onder de knie. Door de vele wisselende perspectieven, het televisieprogramma en de opdeling van de hoofdstukken in delen per dag is het bijna onmogelijk om te stoppen met lezen.

Finale 7 is een Young Adult boek met een boodschap. De auteur stelt de macht van de media, alsook politiek machtsmisbruik aan de kaak. Waarom laten we onze mening zo hard bepalen door datgene dat we op televisie zien? Waarom geven we alle macht uit handen aan een stelletje mannen in pak? Hebben zij wel oprecht het beste met ons voor.

Finale 7 biedt een zinderende finale voor deze originele dystopische trilogie waarin de doodstraf centraal staat. Er worden nieuwe bondgenootschappen gevormd, maar de minister-president slaat terug. Ik genoot opnieuw van een vlot lezend verhaal, maar moet eerlijk zeggen dat ik van de epiloog meer had verwacht. Het voelt bijna alsof Drewery een deurtje openhoudt om nóg een vervolg te schrijven - en dat had wat mij betreft niet gehoeven. Desalniettemin heb ik absoluut genoten van deze verslavende Young Adult trilogie.

Mijn complete recensie lees je op Oog op de Toekomst.

2.5 stars The trilogy had huge potential but I just felt it became a little too farcical. I really wanted to see the Cyber Secure idea explored; the twist was quite clearly coming but seemingly ignored by the characters? And would people really accept (even embrace) that ending after what has happened? I think it would have been more powerful with more subtlety and grey areas.

But, generally enjoyed the series and it does make you think.

REVIEW

I had mixed feelings about reading this book, on one hand I really really couldn't wait to read it, yet at the same time I also didn't want the story to come to an end. I was really looking forward to catching up with Martha and Isaac after the ending of Day 7. In fact my immediate thoughts as I finished reading Day 7 were: Could there be a book three? Please tell me there's more to come from this dystopian/futuristic society? There's so much more, there has to be!



In keeping with the rest of the series this cover has The backdrop of the cover is a brick wall which fits well with the theme of incarceration the focal point of the cover is as eye-catching as Cell 7, and Day 7, though this time the colour is red. In the centre of the "eye" or maybe a "camera lens" though in this book it could also represent the idea of a target because the “Rises 7” are all wanted felons in this book Then there is the tree again, which I would say represents the tree Martha used to try to catch a glimpse of during her incarceration. The tree with the bird flying away from it is once again prominently featured, and I still think that maybe the tree represents the growth of something? Perhaps a banding together of those against this present justice system. The bird may represent hope and freedom. I’m looking forward to finding out more in this final installment of the Cell 7 Trilogy.




The genres I have seen listed for this book are YA, Sci-Fi & Fantasy & Teen. I totally agree that this book fits all those categories but I personally would also add dystopian and futuristic too. I should also confess to most certainly not falling into the category of being a Teen or Young Adult either but I have truly loved reading this brilliant book series.



This book starts with a prologue kind of refreshing your memory to where you are within the book series. It all begins with Martha panicking as to whether Isaac is breathing or not, she can hardly see through the tears in her eyes and her hands are sticky with blood. Gus is with Martha and he places his hand on Isaac's chest and tells Martha that Isaac is breathing. The car they are travelling in is hurtling towards the boundary between "the haves" in the city and the "have not's" in the rises. As they approach this once, invisible boundary they notice lots of lorries ahead and what looks like some sort of wall being constructed. Though at the time they don't know what to think about it. Martha quietly murmurs wondering what it is for, To keep us out? Control us? Then whispers Berlin, Israel, Belfast, Korea and Gus replies "And now London"



I really enjoy how the chapters vary from being from the point of view of the different characters such as Martha, Max, Eve, Cicero and the TV broadcasters too. It makes the book feel fast paced and you feel you are there watching the broadcasts that are churning out the stories as the government wants people to see them. Martha Honeydew, Isaac Paige, Eve & Max Stanton, Ex-Judge Thomas Cicero, Ex-presenter Jerome Decker and Gus Evans are being labelled as terrorists and the media has given them the name of the "Rises Seven". Martha is still being blamed for planting a bomb at the old TV Studio's and it keeps being reported if Patty Paige dies, Martha will be back on death row. The show, Death Is Justice is still being produced and the prisoners are now being kept at The Old Bailey. It's certainly a case of the "show must go on" with Joshua out of favour its out with the old and in with new. So the new presenters are Kristina Albright always in her pristine suits and immaculate looking and is now the main studio presenter. Then there's Gerome Sharp, the man "on the scene" or within the scene and part of it in this book, There's a few times Gerome finds himself in a predicament being in close quarters to prisoners and at the receiving ends of items being thrown! Throughout quite a lot of the book, the general public are led to believe that Martha is in fact in prison. So Martha spends lots of her time being afraid of being discovered and having to use various disguises such as a large hood and even a wig at one point. Martha, Isaac and Gus were helped to escape by a "mystery" woman who is very pivotal in this book as she has inside information that helps the "Rises Seven" And mostly Martha gather documents needed to reveal all the underhand deals and the biased trials the government have been a part of. The government and Prime Minister Rennard show what they think of the people living in the Rises by contructing a wall and staffing it, so that all those that live in the Rises but work elsewhere have to have a pass to get out of the Rises to get to their jobs. Things rapidly become worse until only the privileged few with special passes are allowed through the wall border. It is lucky for Martha she seems to have help from such a high ranking person and that means she can get in and out of the Rises. Not that it easy, as she has to disguise herself.



In this final book the whole voting on who lives and dies escalates even more than in the other books. As the "Studio" is moved to the Old Bailey that is a historical building as it is where those sentenced to death were kept years and years before. Gerome Sharp loves going on about historical cases, and what it must have been like to walk along the corridor called "Dead mans walk". He goes into great detail about a section of the corridor that is open to the elements above being where those in the olden days would gather to pelt the convicted with rotten fruit and vegetables!



Among my favourite characters in this book were Eve, especially the very last scene she is in. (It will make sense when you read the book). We do see a totally different more cunning and sly side to Max in this book too. He goes through a phase of not knowing who to trust or what to do to attempt to help his mother gain her freedom. We also learn in this book that though they haven't initially told each other that Eve and Cicero are in love with each other.

Of course I love the character of Martha who once again shows her bravery, though she probably would see it as that. Martha has to put trust into a mystery woman who seems to want to help her and the Rises Seven clear their names and change the whole justice system. Though what is in it for the mystery woman? Does she stand to gain anything? Or could it all be some bizarre trap.



In Final 7 we see the general public living in the Rises banding together to support someone that has helped many of them. It is these people from the Rises that together with some of the city people finally see clearly at what is wrong with their current justice system. Martha manages to provide documents that make them think about what they have been led to believe currently and in the past. There really is strength in numbers in Final 7.



I really don't want to go into the plot in more detail as I think that would spoil the reading experience of others. Just be prepared with the tissues as there were a couple of parts that had me tearing up. There is love, sadness, loss, family, the kindness of strangers and the betrayals of those once thought to be so reliable. There really is so much packed into this book I absolutely hated having to put it down. In fact I ended up reading the book in just three reading sessions. One of the things most disturbing about this book is that it isn't all that much of a big leap away from our present reality. There's so much reality TV these days, and there always has been a fascination with courtroom drama and serial killers etc. It doesn't take that much imagination to visualise the plot and contents of this book happening in our near future at all!



My immediate thoughts upon finishing reading this book were . . . wow! . . . only one word needed to describe this book and the same word to describe the whole series. . . brilliant!

Es patiešām ar sevi lepojos, ka izlasīju šo triloģiju. Ne tādēļ, ka šī būtu gada labākā literatūra, arī ne tādēļ, ka bija baigi briesmīgi un grūti. Es vienkārši zinu, kas notiktu manā galvā, ja līdz galam netiktu - smadzenes turpinātu vērpt domas ap šo, kā tas viss beidzās, kuru autore tomēr upurētu utt.

Un tas liecina grāmatai par labu - kaut kādas sēklas tā iesēj. Nāves spriedumi, sabiedrības iesaistīšanās tik delikātos jautājumos kā dzīvības atņemšana, manipulācija ar masām - šie visi ir lieliski temati, par ko runāt. Tas viss pasniegts arī jaunam lasītājam draudzīgā formātā - gan caur šoviem, gan iekšējām pārdomām, gan caur novērošanas kameru filmētiem kadriem.

Jāatzīst, ka vietām man likās pārāk liela atkārtošanās (trīs grāmatas, kurās katrā notiesātie gaida, kad tauta nobalsos par viņu vainu - varētu būt, ka vairāki elementi atkārtojas), ka vietām viss likās pārāk episki (tas gan nemainīja to, ka emocionālā Linda mēģināja asaras sūtīt atpakaļ uz dziedzeriem, jo smieklīgi taču raudāt par tīņu bestselleri) un ka tādam apvērsumam viss notika nedaudz par ātru.

Autore viltīgi atstāj kāju durvīs. Turpinājums varētu sekot. Turpinājums no pagātnes, kas mazinātu arī atkārtošanās iespaidu. Ko lai saka, es jau lasītu. Bērnu literatūru atēdos, jāmēģina tas pats izdarīt ar pusaudžu romāniem.

A fast paced end to the Cell 7 trilogy that kept me on the edge of my seat. Martha continues her fight against social discrimination to get justice for all, with electric and sometimes devastating results. Sure to stay with readers for a long time.

Well then. It’s over & I don’t know how to process this.

Dystopia series - doesn’t get better than this.

This series is an emotional ride. You will feel anger, passion, love & all sorts of feelings for so many reasons.

I’m just expressing my feelings at this point & avoiding spoilers because you really need to read this series.

I was waiting for something specific to happen throughout this whole series & it happened and I certainty cried. I did not expect to cry but I knew it was coming at some point but who?

The way it all wrapped up with the Prime Minster & what happened & the wall!!!🤯🤯

The characters are so easily likeable AND hateable!! I repeat… this will have you questioning so many things & is kinda also an eye opener.

Final 7 was SUCH a thrilling read from beginning to end. It is tense and full of action, taking plenty of twists and turns along the way. Picking up just where Day 7 left off (don’t worry, there are no spoilers from me!), I found it really easy to pick up the story and fall back in step with these wonderful characters and thought provoking story lines and was compelled to keep reading Martha’s fight against social discrimination.

My absolute favourite thing about these books is the way in which they explore social class and discrimination. I am always interesting in how social class affects various aspects of all our lives and these books really don’t shy away from that. After reading each book in this trilogy, I have had to take some time to sit and think about them carefully and some of the themes and messages they hold within. These books are really powerful in their message of speaking out and standing up for what we believe in and what can happen if we just standby and allow things we believe are wrong to continue. Martha, Max, Isaac, Cicero, Josh and Eve are all fighting against the tide for what they believe in and along the way have to make huge sacrifices for themselves and others. It’s made really clear from all angles that making your voice heard is not the easy option but they don’t stop their fight and I found that really thought provoking and inspiring.

There’s also the huge amount of corruption within government and from the media that goes on in this book which I think is so incredibly relatable to the world today. The idea that money is power is something I have always struggled with because it doesn’t sit well with me but unfortunately it really is quite true. There are some really despicable characters in these books who I really loathe (no names for fear of spoiling!) but they were so necessary to this story and really evoked a lot of emotion in me.

Something I’ve loved all the way along this series is the structure of the books as this is part of the reason (aside from the compelling storyline and excellent writing) these books are such fast paced reads. I love how they flick between different perspectives and also how we get the glimpses of the infamous TV shows televising death row. The glamorisation of death row is really unsettling in these books and I would like to think that if I found myself in this dystopian version of our world that I wouldn’t get sucked into this sickening reality television but the power of the media in these books and the hold that it has over the public is terrifying.

I ADORE these characters. Their strength, compassion and drive for what they believe in is something I truly admire. They are all flawed in their own way and that is something else that I love because it is real. There are moments in this book where the characters made me laugh and also where they broke my heart – one loss in particular in this book really deeply upset me but I can also see how that death was necessary to the plot. Most of all though, these characters made me feel empowered. They made me want to use my own voice more to stand up for what I believe in. I’m not sure I would have all of Martha’s strength, or all of Eve’s drive and compassion, but if I could use just an ounce of it I would be proud.

My final thought on this book was THAT ending really makes me want more and I’m sad that this wonderful, thought provoking trilogy has ended. If we could get a novella from Sofia’s POV I’d be all over it! *cough* I definitely think there’s room for more from these characters and I’m excited for what Kerry Drewery will write next!

Thanks to Hot Key Books, NetGalley and Kerry Drewery for my advanced copy in exchange of a fair and honest review.

I received this book from readers first, not realising it was the third in a trilogy. So this meant I had to buy the other two to really understand the story. I'm glad I did as I have really enjoyed the three of them.

The storyline was interesting, gripping, with twists and turns to keep you guessing, while there were some you could guess, not all were so easy.

The characters developed well and had interesting connections and relationships that developed throughout the novels. I liked Martha as a heroine - she was a strong character and a good role model for young girls (most of the time!). I liked how she was brave (occasionally to the point of stupidity!), intelligent, caring and complicated. She had her flaws and that made her more believable. Plus Isaac, Max, Eve, Gus, Josh & Cicero were all great additional characters, not to mention the wonderful Mrs B!

The deaths of some of the main characters were hard while realistic in the situation that they were in.

I enjoyed the fact that even though this was the final novel, there was still an opportunity for Drewery to come back to the characters if she wanted to. The fact that not everything was tied up was a positive for the novel. Even if there is never an additional book, it would give readers an opportunity to go back to the story themselves and imagine what might happen themselves.

The other thing I liked about it is how possible a future like that in the novel could be. I could see us going down a similar path with the laws on surveillance and fear of crime. You could easily imagine people buying into a 'justice' system like that in the books. Bringing this to people's attention is always a worthwhile aim. As is how the idea of a death penalty is proven to end up with endless innocent victims and questions whether this can ever be legitimate.

Really enjoyable story.

This series is insane🤯🤯

Big thanks to Ellie for encouraging me to grab these because wow… this series will have you feeling all the emotions, so much anger & frustration, but I also cried at this book?!

This book packed an absolute punch & tied the story together so well.. you will love some characters and absolutely loathe others!!

There’s not much I can say without spoilers but if you like dystopia vibes give these books a go because wow, nothing like I have read before and the whole time reading I just kept thinking like can you IMAGINE if this was real?! It definitely hints to pieces of reality with corruption in the government etc & the upper class vs the lower class vibes but on an extreme level, I will definitely be thinking about these books for a LONG TIME…

4.5⭐️ - .5 lost as I feel like something in the end was left unanswered …

Branded terrorists by the media and the government, Martha and her allies are hiding out in the Rises, hoping for Isaac to wake up, fearing for Eve in the cells, and trying to figure out what comes next. Then a wall goes up to separate the Rises from the rest of the city, ostensibly for protection, that turns them into a prison. Will this finally be enough to get the people to rise up? With their help or without it, Martha is determined to bring down the so-called justice system and the corrupt prime minister who endorses it.

A thrilling pageturner of a final book, raising the stakes and delivering an immensely satisfying conclusion to this thoughtprovoking, clever trilogy while still leaving the door open for a potential follow-up at some point.

Eve is on death row, Isaac is in a coma and Martha has no idea how to end everything that’s going wrong. This was a gripping final book and it hit me pretty hard in places. The whole storyline and all the characters have been really interesting in all 3 of this books. This one was particularly great though. I could never tell what was going to happen and the story went places most books wouldn’t. I’m kind of sad it’s over now. I really need this series to be made into either a tv show or a couple of movies. I don’t have a single bad thing to say about this book. The concept was just really cool.

Wisienka na torcie, miód malina. Spiski wchodzą w życie, wszystko się dzieje na raz, cały czas coś. To się nie nudzi, naprawdę. Kończy się rozdział i następny jest opisany z innego punktu widzenia — mądry sposób na utrzymanie czytelnika w napięciu, wręcz zmuszenia go do dalszego czytania. Nie wspominam o tych akcjach co miały tam miejsce, taka konkretna książka na koniec trylogii. Nic tylko zachwalać.

Enjoyed this most out of the three, however if its a trilogy, we still have loose ends. What exactly is Max working out at the end? Similar plot to the other two but finally the biggest criminal is taken down.

A sensationally tense finale to Kerry Drewery’s compelling YA trilogy.
It’s always a relief when a story or series that you’ve enjoyed ends well, and Final 7 certainly does that in a breath-taking and stunning way.

Hoppa! Weer een serie uitgelezen. Het gaat goed dit jaar!
Ik was een beetje vergeten dat ik het 3e deel van deze serie nog niet in huis had, maar ik wilde hem eigenlijk ook niet kopen, aangezien mijn hele kast vol staat met ongelezen boeken. Toen ik een nieuw biebabonnement nam en hem direct tegen kwam in de bibliotheek, besloot ik dan ook om hem daar mee te nemen! En oh wat heb ik hier weer van genoten.

Ik vind deze serie echt ontzettend goed en ook enigszins beangstigend, want ik geloof soms echt dat de wereld hier behoorlijk dichtbij komt nu social media zo'n grote rol speelt in ons leven.
Aangezien er wat langer tussen deel 2 en 3 zat voor mij, kon ik me wel iets minder inleven in de personages. Wat details waren weggezakt. Ik denk dat ik er meer plezier in had gehad mocht ik de hele serie in 1 keer gelezen hebben, maar alsnog vond ik het een heel goed boek!

I rate this book a solid three stars. Thanks to Mal for forcing me to read this series, because I did enjoy it. Solid 3 star series overall, I would say. This book was a nice end to the trilogy. There's a lot of things I personally would've changed, and I wasn't attached to the characters, but it was fun reading this because it was so quick and fast-paced. For some reason I was able to read this very quickly (100 pages in around 20-30 minutes) and that made it pretty enjoyable.

The writing wasn't my favorite and I feel like if I had liked that more the rating would be higher, but overall I'm happy that I read this series and it was fun following the story of Martha, Isaac and all the other characters.

This book's dystopian, and like many other dystopian books, it has quite a corrupt government. I really like the amount of work the author put into designing the political system in this book because it was very interesting to read about and also didn't seem too unrealistic which can sometimes be the case.

I would recommend this if you're looking for a quick, fast-paced dystopian trilogy with simple writing.

The main plot of this book was Martha going around collecting evidence as Isaac recovers. The wall that the ex-government, Stephen renards, is being built to separate the rises from the ‘normal community’ as they think that the rises is causing all the trouble whereas they are only trying to gain justice so that people are treated fairly. The main characters are safe in the rises as they take care of them. The book finishes by Martha, Isaac and the others having a happy ending after everything they’ve been through.

Kerry drewery portrays the main characters as the rises 7 and terrorists in this book as the government use propaganda to convince the public that they were a danger to society. The old prime minister ends up killing himself in death row with a gun as Martha doesn’t and he was there because he went against basic human rights and was outed for everything he did which includes tracking them and killing others and shooting Cicero.

MARTHA- she spent the book hiding from citizens and sneaking running around to gather evidence to bring justice for everyone. She also spend the last few chapters in death down which is filled with others who were fake by the government because the wanted basic human rights
ISAAC- he wasn’t in the book much as the majorly of time was spent on him waking up or helping the others.
EVE- she was killed in death row after all the help she gave Martha and she was a great mother to Max and left him to her beloved Cicero.
MAX- he was great in it in the first two books however the security system had upgraded therefore there wasnt any of that in this book. He teamed up to give in Martha for him mother as any son would think to.
JOSHUA- he was a producer for the show death is justice however he became friends with this small group and called a terrorist. He was threatened by the government because he’s gay and his bf Pete helped Cicero recover from when he was shot by Stephen (the old prime minister)
CICERO- he helped Martha and the rest an incredible amount as he stepped up and never gave up even after when Eve was killed.
GUS- I generally don’t remember much about him but he also helped a lot.
KRISTINA- she is the show producer for death is justice and this show became the daily crime. I felt that she should’ve been punished in some way as she always was against Martha and the others which infuriated me. She does get hate towards the end when a man proposes to her on camera from death row and she rejects him and gets called a bitch etc.
SOPHIA- she becomes the new prime minister after Stephen and is the youngest PM ever in the book however she has the best idea to make the law system fair and no one is wrongly proved as a murderer.

I gave this book 5 stars because it is a great series overall and it may have been the worst out of the 3 books however it was still enjoyable and I adore that the front cover represents the wall being built to separate the rises and the richer community.

Power degenerates, but the real reason lies in the greed of the human heart. No matter how beautiful the fairness and the fairness of checks and balances are, because of the environment and desires, the original conscience and beliefs will gradually be distorted. Until you ask yourself when things start to move away from the track, you will find the unbalanced laws and biased systems. Indifference from people.

The author builds the background of the series on a dystopia in which a referendum judges whether a person is guilty or not. Even if it has various bad habits, it still clearly satirizes people’s half-knowledge of information and advocacy of news violence, deliberately using public opinion and filtering The latter story makes the group the most powerful hammer to judge the good and evil of a person.

There is no so-called gray area at this time, and the plot of extra-legal sentiment is an unimaginable dream.

Human nature and science and technology should complement each other. The ignorant general acceptance and the temporary rejection of the possibility have allowed the original goodwill to become a gradual collapse of daily life. Perhaps the author's worldview is full of irony-shows that broadcast the death penalty, unfair reports, and sensational media.

Corresponding to the reports that people prefer nowadays, it is nothing more than the content of fishy, ​​taint, and erotic. Of course, some people will avoid it, but the author wants to emphasize that the more convenient the society, the more angles they need to examine. Everyone knows that swallowing jujubes wholeheartedly is the worst way to absorb them. When we were in school, we remembered to get through with us. Why did we gradually forget the most fundamental truth after we got out of society.

The best example is also staged next to you and me-messages and comments on current events on the Internet. We are not the parties involved, and we are not qualified to judge whether things are good or bad. Of course, we can express our personal opinions based on freedom of speech, but it does not mean that we can abuse the power conferred by freedom to arbitrarily explain and respond. You shouldn't be careless because of what you say online, because you might be a person who has become a newspaper report.
