The Final Test is the Deadliest!

The Review: Graduation Day is the third and final book in The Testing series written by author Joelle Charbonneau, and what a finale it was! 

Set in a dystopia world, Sia passed The Testing, she’s studying to become a leader for the government but there’s one problem, Sia wants to take down the system and put an end to The Testing that got her to where she is today. With the United Commonwealth trying to take down the rebels and the rebels trying to overtake the United Commonwealth, Sia is desperately running out of time and with the final stage in her tests becoming more and more intense, it’s impossible to know who to trust. Sia has always trusted her instincts and judgements before, but now it’s the crunch time and one wrong move and she stands to lose everything and everyone she loves. Can Sia make the right choices and do what’s best for her country or will this be the end for her?

It was simply impossible to predict the outcome of this series! With some much mistrust in the story, like I said, it’s simply impossible. Graduation Day was a great end because there was so much speculation, death and drama and of course mystery to the story. I did feel as though it was a little slower paced as the previous books, but I could understand why it was, but I still I really enjoyed it.

Sia has really grown throughout this series. She’s always been a wise girl one who follows her heart and does what she thinks is right. I’m glad to see that didn’t change throughout this book and if anything she became an even better person, even though she was faced some tough challenges. I was glad she the likes of Thomas to help her and even some unpredictable characters who had a helping hand in the final outcome. 
I really enjoyed the ending of the series and I felt that everything was nicely wrapped up as well as it could possibly be for this series, and after I found myself very satisfied with what I’d read. 

In all, Joelle Charbonneau has wrote a very enjoyable series, one that many dystopia fans would certainly enjoy and one I’d definitely recommend to people!
