The Giver Quartet

I have recently posted about the book titled The Giver by Lois Lowry,  this book hooked me in and I couldn't wait to continue reading the series.

The second book in the series is Gathering Blue.  This feels like a stand alone book, as it doesn't have any of the same characters as the first book or even set in the same dystopian world. It is a companion to the first book, different dystopian world and ordered is established by how many syllables in your name, example Matt is a youngster, one syllable, Kira is a teenager, two syllables etc. I related to this book as Kira creates beautiful stitcheries and my love of embroidery and sewing. I actually preferred this narrative than the first.

The  third in the quartet is Messenger and it links the stories of the character Jonas from the first book and Matty from the second book. It was here where I made connections between the first two books.

Lastly Son gives us the conclusion to the three stories. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the series. It was a quick read. Highly recommend you read all in the series if you enjoyed the first.
