Brief Synopsis: (Taken from Goodreads) Inside the Dome, Patridge has taken his father's place as leader of the Pures. His struggle has led him here, intent upon bringing down the Dome from the inside, with the help of a secret resistance force. But things are not as simple from his new position of power and he finds himself tempted by his father's words: perhaps if the world is to survive it needs the Dome - and Partridge - to rule it...
As Partridge's resolve weakens, Pressia and Bradwell continue piecing together the clues left to them from the time before the Detonations. It is their hope that they will be able to heal the Wretches, and free them from their monstrous fusings and the Dome's oppression once and for all. But everything depends, too, on Partridge. Separated by distance and history, can they still trust their friend and ally? Or is the world doomed to an eternity of war and hardship?

My Review:
I give this book a 5 out of 5.
Nothing is as it seems as Partridge takes over the Dome. He's supposed to be in charge but he quickly learns he has no control over anything. Only his guard, Beckley, might help him.
Pressia wakes up inside the dome in Ireland and eventually is allowed to return home with Bradwell, El Capitan, and Helmud with the vial and the formula, as long as they take the means to destroy the Dome once and for all along with them.
As I was reading this book I couldn't comprehend how everything could come to a close - much less any kind of happy ending. I don't expect a full on happy ending where everyone in the world is suddenly best friends forever and there are rainbows and puppies everywhere. Just an ending where someone at least manages to be happy. Something where the bad guys don't completely win. But who are the bad guys in this trilogy? That's a question the author really did a good job of leaving the reader with. Is it really the people in the Dome? Is it the wretches? Is it Partridge's father? The author did an amazing job showing that nobody is wholly good and nobody is wholly evil. Reality is never cut and dried. It's never simple.
This entire trilogy was excellent and I did get the mostly happy ending that I was hoping for. Definitely worth the read!
