Midnighters #3 Blue Noon Scott Westerfeld Books

I really enjoyed the first two books of this series: Midnighters #1: The Secret Hour and Midnighters #2: Touching Darkness. However, I thought that while this was a fitting and complete end to the series, I found the logic a bit confusing and hard to follow. It almost seemed that the storyline was a little forced in order to finish the series.

I'd read previous reviews of The Secret Hour which discussed the confusion with the basic premise of the 25-hr day and the idea of blue time not being "at midnight" but "true midnight." I had no problems with that and actually, followed the logic. However, in this book, blue time starts occurring at other times, and there is a rift forming that threatens to expand and pull a large area into the blue time. I didn't follow how there were "stiffs" in blue time, but not in the rift.

A few issues of following the logic of the story aside, the writing stayed true to the feel of the other two books. The characters were developed more (especially Rex and Melissa).

The bottom line: Blue Noon is certainly worth a read - you HAVE to finish off the series. It just didn't captivate and enthrall me like the first two books in the series.

Midnighters #3 Blue Noon Scott Westerfeld Books Reviews

This book is a must read for anyone who loves a book they can't put down. I read the series in a weekend, because I couldn't put it down. Now I'm sad its over, but so excited to discuss all the adventures with my daughter who first showed me the book.
In Bixby, Oklahoma, there are 25 hours to each day. In the 25th hour, clocks stop, people turn into what looks like store dummies, rain stands in midair, to resume falling at the end of the 25th hour. Only a few humans (the midnighters of the title), who happen to be teens (except for one other person), are awake during this hour, and they battle ancient evils that exist and come out during this time.

This book is the latest in the series (or final in a trilogy?) that finds the kids in an armegeddon sort of situation. In the final battle, each teen uses his or her special power (flight, mathematics, lore knowledge, power to use light) to fight these nightmares. The end is actually sad, and I don't want to reveal it. But I do recommend this series!
I enjoyed the premise of this trilogy. I think there is definitely something there, but I felt like this was too rushed. It was a "fast food" book- all the plot in half the time! This meant that a few things fell flat to me. Biggest was character development, they all felt flat, cliched and fake. I didn't care much for the ending- less for what happened and more for the fact that it didn't feel like it ended.
Read this series growing up. Found a box full of my old stuff, had the first two books in it. Husband ordered this for me. Thrilling, great characters, easy reading style. Love their world. Wish he would follow up with another book.
Non stop-emotional with an ending that can be continued or left alone. My favorite thing is that the writing doesn't punish the readers that have read the first books. There is not a lot of time wasted on back story but if you haven't read the first two books you won't be bored. However I never recommend reading a series out of order and this book has gifts to those that have be loyal. Things that would otherwise be missed, that are nice "ah-ha" moments but not necessary for plot understanding. Possibly a hint to a spoiler..

I will say that the ending is depressing.
I wouldn't have wanted to miss a single page of it - in fact, that was probably the hardest part about the whole book trying to savor it, knowing this is the end of the trilogy. Despite my efforts to make the book last longer, the ending still felt a bit abrupt to me. But that is most likely due to the fact that I sincerely wish that this wasn't a trilogy. It would be so interesting to see more books follow this one. The premise for the trilogy is so unique, that I think that more than just this story arc could be placed within it. I suppose that the epilogue left some room if Westerfield ever changes his mind and decides to expand the series... I'll be keeping my fingers crossed!
An extra hour to roam around every day, loved the concept.

When I read the first 2 books in this series, I kept asking myself why Bixby had that many midnighters. I have never once met anyone who was born at midnight, and for a small town to have 5, it is kind of astonishing. "Blue Moon" explains it and it makes sense. It wraps up other issues quite nicely too except the origin of the darklings. From what I understand, darklings were conjured from human's primal fears. I still have a little trouble grasping the concept on conjuring something in material from something immaterial.

Scott Westerfeld did a superb job in plot and character developments. All the characters started growing in me almost instantaneously. The writing is fluent and the events are logical, although I found myself quite frequently flipping to the beginning of the chapters to look at the time index again, just to make sure I get the sequence of events correctly.

The ending of this series is so good that it sucks. After having invested so much emotion towards the characters just to find out that they didn't end up the way I wanted them to really sucks. However, it could be worse. Scott Westerfeld could have just killed off Jessica instead. There isn't really a good logical way to keep Jessica alive after she was being struck by a powerful lightning. Keeping her alive only during the blue hour seems the next best thing. I am also genuinely grateful to see Melissa opened up and actively seek out other midnighters.

All in all, the Midnighters series is a worthy good read.
