While not my favorite of this author’s works, Sigler created a unique and compelling universe. I could see this trilogy appealing to fans of The Hunger Games and its ilk, as well as broader sci fi.

I loved the book! The author is amazing. I wish the series didn't end. Please make this into a movie. I apologize for my late review on this book

When I first started this series and the birthday children woke up in their coffins, I never expected the story to take the twists and turns it did. That's one of my favorite things about this series. It's so unpredictable and you never know what they're going to encounter from one chapter to the next. It's like Sigler says, hey 'I know the readers are going to expect this and this to happen, so I'm going to do the exact opposite and keep them off balance.' This last book is no different. Two of the things I thought for sure would play out in this book, didn't. I like that though and wouldn't have it any other way. It's a good thing Sigler is the writer and not me, because he makes me very aware that my creative intuition is severely lacking.

Alone is a wonderful, satisfying ending to The Generations Trilogy!

Sigler had me at the beginning of The Generations Trilogy in Alive when he started out with Em waking up in a COFFIN! He grabbed my attention from the first pages, and then never let up all the way through to the end of Alone!

I've always been a huge sci-fi fan and space ships, new planets to explore, and aliens are huge favorites. Sigler took all of these items and created a spectacular unique version which I enjoyed immensely.

In Alone, I never really got a chance to catch my breath as the action never stops! We get major battles, both on the ground and in space, a little romance, and some crazy twists!!

I had so many emotions going on throughout, including joy, sorrow, anger, frustation, and at one point had to refrain from throwing my ereader. But in the end, I was wholeheartedly pleased with how the Birthday Children fared... Well, most of them anyway.

If Sigler ever decides to do a sequel to this trilogy, count me in!!

*Thank you to NetGalley and Del Rey for an advanced copy!*

This was such a thrilling conclusion to a great series! I loved the characters again, the way the story was written, and I felt like it all came together well.

This topic is no longer of interest to me and I will not be finishing this book.

Sigler has done it again. This series has been an insane and wild ride, and I've loved every minute of it (while squirming uncomfortably and/or wincing in some parts). I've turned several people on to this series now (it was, in fact, how I myself was introduced to it - by an intellectual history buff who was reading the first one and tried, with a perplexed look on her face, to explain what the plot premise was). I was so excited when I got an ARC of this one and immediately texted my friends who are also into the series to tell them. We have, since then, purchase a few copies for the library I work at, and I recommend this series to patrons all the time. It's interesting, intriguing, innovative, diverse, and unique. I never have any idea where Sigler is going to take me when I sit down to read.

The first couple books was all about finding out about themselves and about finding a place to survive and on book two they had to find this alien race that had already claim Omeyocan for themselves. And they did it but at the end of book two Em and their friends realize that the fight was far from over yet. Because more alien races were coming to claim their home and the "Grownups" were among the aliens too, so they had to find out why all those ships were coming to Omeyocan, why this place was calling them and if it was worth it fighting for it. And that's pretty much what this book is about, Em and her friends finally find out the reason behind Omeyocan and why all those ships were coming to claim it too and why so many races got a "call" and the desire to fight and kill for it.
And Em together with her friends also find out more about the Grownups and the ship they escaped and I'm not going to say much about it but that part of the book was probably my favorite.

So, overall 4.5 stars...it was still a very different book, totally different from anything I have read of course. Lots of action, like I like in a book, you learn lots of new things but the author knew to wrap up everything nicely, every nicely. Do I agree with how everything ended up? Heck no, I'm mad how somethings ended but I do see why he finished it this way and Ok, I'll forgive him, but Em ending that way? AH...I'm still upset about it. And if you want to find out how Em ended? Go and read it.

Be warned up front that this is the final book in a trilogy, and it doesn't stand alone well. Though the Series is tagged YA, I found that I would recommend it to other audiences as well. The writing is excellent, the many threads interwoven since the first book unravel and find endpoints in this final book. I believe that the ending will be a source of debate and discussion among trilogy readers. I was satisfied by the book's resolution. If you like sci-fi adventure, a stellar heroine, and more twists and turns than a mountain road, The Generations Trilogy is a great choice. I might compare it to the Divergent Series.

I really enjoyed this series and the final book was a solid installment. The overall story was familiar, which worried me in the beginning, but the details were surprisingly original.

I'm a big fan of violence and mayhem, which all three of these books are chock full of.

This was a bloody, fast-paced page turner with a satisfying ending.

This series started out strong, but ultimately, I hated the direction it took.

Em was extremely unlikable---more than in the other two books combined. Her power trip was more obvious than before and I lost respect for her.

Then the grub thing? So, it was sending signals calling for war? I don't know. I couldn't get behind that idea. And though it's unique and strange, it was almost too much. However, props are given to Sigler for his imagination.

I never really loved the romance between Em and Bishop, so the fact that there was a huge focus here was a problem as well.

Overall, I am probably in the minority. But this series just isn't for me.

I was given the opportunity to read Alone. Freely given with no expectations, this is my honest opinion of the book.

Em Savage, Victor Muller, and Yoshiko Bawden have spent ten days hiding, waiting for the Belligerents to show themselves. The spider, their machine that looks like a mechanized and weaponized version of an arachnid, has been the only reason why the "empties" and the Springers are still alive. Along with Maria D'souza, who has been able to tame the native snake-wolves to be able to use them to their advantage, Em and the rest of the squadron are going on the offensive with the Belligerents.

In the year since the fragile peace with the Springers, much has changed. The alien ships are closing in on the planet and the partnership with Barkah, leader of some of the Springers, is not without issues. The constant skirmishes with their enemies has weakened both sides and the future of all is very much in doubt. When aggressive behavior and nightmares become the norm, is it a sign of things to come?

A lot of changes and decisions are made in this book, and I absolutely believe that it should not be read as a standalone. Too much has transpired since book 1 and the nuances of both the characters and the plot would be lost if readers began with Alone. I liked the action of most of the book, but was a little bothered by the way that the author chose to end it. Without spoiling Alone for other readers, I can say that I had wished that the author had stuck with the science fiction aspects of the book and left the rest out. Its strength is in the science fiction genre, so anything added to the plot that encompassed a different book category is unnecessary. As a whole, I enjoyed The Generations Trilogy and would recommend this series, as well as other books by this author.

I received a copy of this book courtesy of NetGalley and Lake Union Publishing in exchange for an honest review.

They had me at Hunger Games. It was also similar to Maze Runner. As I read my mind was conjuring up creatures from Avatar. The story line is amazingly creative. It was so engaging I could not put it down.

The main character’s self-talk was somewhat cheesy at times. But I realized the necessity to convey the emotions and thoughts. By the third book it was much less frequent. I was surprised how many twists and turn were left for the third book. Many trilogies lose a little momentum by the third book, this one did not.

I loved the ending. It was very creative and fitting to the story line. I didn’t see it coming but really liked it once it unfolded.

Excellent story. I highly recommend this trilogy.

Awesome ending! Loved the twists and turns and was truly blown away by what was really happening on Omeyocon!

Wow. What an incredible end to an incredible series. So there are times when I am reading a book series and I never really feel like the sequels live up to the first one. For so many series, the books just kind of lose steam as they go on. BUT NOT WITH THIS ONE. This book is just as exciting as the first two . . . even more so, actually. This book was almost 600 pages and I swear there was action and bloodshed and intensity for over 500 of those pages. It was such a roller coaster . . . if the roller coaster in question was full of hills and didn't give you a chance to catch your breath before taking you over the next one.

Okay, it's REALLY hard to give a thorough review because of spoilers. I don't want to ruin this. I will say there are so many enemies that Em and the other Birthday Children have to fight here. Once they fight one group, another one comes along. Meanwhile, they also have to stop fighting each other so they can concentrate on the people who are really after them. This last book kind of reminded me of Lord of the Flies times a million or something. It's like an adult version of that. And there were so many twists in this one that my head spun a little bit. All the questions are answered and none of it was predictable at all. This was such a thrilling conclusion to this series. Highly recommended.

Wow! This series always manages to keep me hooked! An incredible instalment!

What an outstanding end to a remarkable series! I was completely captivated from the moment Em found her way out of that coffin in book one, all the way to the very last pages of this book. The places the series goes are unexpected and exciting. Each step of the journey has been enthralling. And if I can be completely honest, Alone just may blow the first two out of the water. Scott Sigler has outdone himself here with how absolutely intense and full of action this one is. There is everything including romance, mystery, and epic bloodshed. Sigler 100% delivers in this series. If you haven't jumped on the bandwagon yet, do yourself a favor because this is one of the best dystopian, science fiction series I have ever read. There is also extreme crossover appeal. I cannot recommend this enough!

This book felt really long for some reason. Not that it was boring in anyway but I kept feeling that the end of the story must be near and I wasn't even halfway through the book. Nevertheless I found this to be a good ending to the trilogy. There was quite a lot of different story lines going on through out the narrative but all in all an exciting read with a surprise ending.

This book is a fitting ending in this trilogy. If you have not read the first book than you need to go do so right away. Not only because these books are meant to be read in chronological order but because if you like dystopian novels with strong characters than you need to check this trilogy out.

Em and the rest of the group might be fighting their biggest battle yet. Their friendships will be tested. Additionally, death will come to some. The planet of Omeyocan is another element of what I liked about this trilogy. It is a very unique world. Just when I thought I knew it all, it seemed like I was still discovering things about the planet. Talk about action. There was plenty of it to keep the story flowing at a nice, fast pace. I was not disappointed by the ending. It was a fitting and good one. I can't wait to see what Mr. Sigler comes out with next. This trilogy does deserve a spot up there with the Hunger Games, Maze Runner, and Divergent.
