Status Updates From Survivors (The Voices #3)

Pilgrim has a lot of growth in this one as he starts to piece all his broken memories back together. He’s a badass no doubt but I love that ultimately it’s because at his core he’s a protector. some very intense action scenes too that give goosebumps. Some good explanations at last too. But really I love that the foundation of this story is the connection between pilgrim and Lacey and him finding her again.

Some tricky twists that I had definitely forgotten. The reunion between pilgrim and Lacey is wonderful, like they’re in their own little world. I hate that it got interrupted by stupid Tyler. I feel like I maybe missed growth of Addison in bk2 but I just don’t like that kid, she’s creepy and now into the flitting man. I feel real bad for albus and if he reunites with pilgrim that’ll be real sad.

I feel like people are pretty harsh about pilgrim forgetting them, I mean the guy legitimately has brain damage! I remember now as you read this it all makes sense about why the voices are there and what things mean but if I were to try and explain it I think it would be really difficult. The chapters with ruby are sad because we see a much harsher pilgrim who wasn’t ready to care yet, like he does with Lacey.

Him seeing Lacey everywhere is real sad. I like that you get to see his past with ruby and albus and that you learn that he has actually been a part of the bigger picture this whole time. They call him Agur which means stranger, gatherer, because it is his role to get everyone where they need to be for the prophesied showdown. But all roads have always led to Lacey and everyone knows it.

The beginning is a flashback of pre end of civilisation, in a psych ward. And it’s tricky because you think it’s the POV of pilgrim but it’s not. I like that we get to find out more about his past before the first book.
