Okay, so I'm really kind of glad that, in explaining what happened to the baby that Jonas escaped with in The Giver, they first explain where the baby came from. I loved going back into that world of the "perfect" society and seeing it from another perspective.
I personally feel that it was a bit of a cop out to make the figure of the Trademaster to be a pure evil entity (even going to so far as to allude that it was, in fact, Lucifer) rather than a being with abilities like Jonas, Kira, Matty, etc... It sort of put an unnecessary religious aspect to the storyline, as well as Faustian.
All in all, I'm really glad that I read these books, but I think The Giver will always be my favorite. The open ending (for me, at the time anyway) appeals to me in a way that closure can sometimes dull.
Still. Yay! On to the next.
