This series, has very few slow areas. Although, I long for action, in these days I am not as able able as I once was to do as much as I once was, I still can live it vicariously.

THE HOLEY ONE

This is so realistic and honest, many of the Hero's don't make it.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 21, 2018

Verified Purchase

The saddest part of this book, and series, is the first line in the Preface, "Welcome to the last installment of "The Ruins". I've been with William since his Mom first discovered his "Smudges" way back in the first book in the largest surviving community of Brighton. This saga begins about three hundred years following a cataclysmic end of the Civilization we know. Most of the technological advances we made have been lost and we're back in "Dark Ages" condition's where Myth, Mysticism, and Deranged Religion rule. There are some artifacts and books that are occasionally found and one class of the survivors is studying these items but the rate of learning is dismally slow and mostly inaccurate.
I normally avoid leaving what I consider "HS Book Report" style reviews. If a prospecting reader is looking for this kind of summary, the authors do a much better job than any reviewer. Because this "Book 4" is the ending of a excellent but long series I felt the need to provide some background.
One of the things I like about this author is the level of trust l feel for the situations the main characters find themselves in. As a kid in the late 50's it seemed absurd to me that other kids were really concerned, "The Lone Ranger", or "Timmy and Lassie", or some other Serial Hero left on a cliff-hanger last week might not make it. Of course they made it or the series would end. T. W. Piperbrook treats his audience with greater maturity and respect and has the courage to allow the Good Guy to be killed often enough to keep the suspense real.
I'm so glad the Author has left the possibility open for some future observations into the few remaining survivors adventures.

Excellent read. Kept me entertained and excited. Provided many sleepless nights. My only complaint is there is not more. Kirby and drew before escaping to new hope?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 24, 2018

This was a great ending to this series - I was so excited for this final installment of The Ruins and this did not disappoint! :) I love his style of writing and I end up feeling like I actually KNOW the characters, which sometimes is not the case in these types of books. Sometimes (but never with Piperbrook) the focus is ALL on action and much less on character development. I'm so glad he works hard to suck us in! I'll miss the Ruins gang, but am looking forward to his next series which he promised us at the end of this book. Thanks for giving us this series!

a great ending to a even greater series....

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 30, 2018

I have enjoyed this series from the very beginning. The travels taken with Bray, William and Kirby have been memorable and I am sad to see this series coming to an end. I know Mr. Piperbrook could possibly go further with this series but I think Book 4's ending will satisfy the readers, I know I was. It is hard to see a series end and The Ruins is no exception. I have enjoyed all of Mr. Piperbrook's series but I think this one is my favorite. Looking forward to whatever Mr. Piperbrook has in store for us next.

This whole set of books was great. New areas in each book kept it entertaining. I cried at the end when we lost a main character.

Felt as trapped as the slaves in this drawn out storyline

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 12, 2018

Verified Purchase

Unlike the other reviewers, I didn't enjoy this book as much of the others in the series. It was pretty good but, to be frank, I was a bit bored with New City. For me the wonder of the series was not the zombie variation, or the more or less medieval communities, it was our heroes wandering into unknown ruins or discovering some ancient tech. The excitement of the discovery was lost in this book as the routine torture and horror of New City dominated the story. Character building? Yes. Entertaining? Not so sure.
Without a doubt this series of books would make a great TV series. A merging of popular series' something like "Revolution" and "Walking Dead" and the 1970s series of "Plant of the Apes". Could be epic. But this last book would need spicing up.
Mr. Piperbrook - another spin off in this nasty universe you have created please.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 3, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is an excellent final book in the series, a character-led story of hope, loss, fear, guilt, adventure and love.

It sees the result of a destroyed world where the survivors try to build a future without cruelty, slavery or pain. There were some fascinating concepts about the spore - humans into mutants or the Gifted. It saw corruption, power, arrogance and greed continue to ruin any attempt to make things better. It was brutal and yet there was also human perseverance for good, too.

Overall, this was a well-written, fast-paced and thought-provoking read with an amazing sense of place and characters that were intriguing and believable - thus making it a compelling tale.

Highly recommended.

Have just finished reading the four books in The Ruins series. A really enjoyable storyline with characters that capture the imagination and make you want to get to know them better. Really sad that their story is finished - or is it!!!! Highly recommended....

Now I've dried my eyes I will say what a truly brilliant story this has been. If you ever wanted a book where you feel for every person in it this is the one for you. Would definitely recommend this book to my friends and family, I am sorry that it has come to an end.
