September 22, 2021"So why are you even bothering? [...]
"We may not be much, but we are the first line of defense. We are the only line of defense. We've gotta keep being that, no matter what. It's all we've got, even if in the end, this is all that's left."
― Joey Harker ―
A Quick Flashback
Discovering his ability to Walk between the universe, get into interworld, a society that people that basically him but in other universe that has goal to keep balance between the magic and science in the universe, Joey is in the middle war between the Binary (science villain) and the HEX (the magic villain) who wants to control the world with their believe and power. Kicked out from Interwold with his memories about it also with his ability to walk erased, Joey back to his world without remember anything, with help of Hue, his MLDF friend he remember and tried to rescue his friends that has been captive by HEX.
Succeed saving his friend he got back to Interworld and sort of accepted again there but again face a trouble when the Binary planting a spy in interworld by sending a clone made by blood of Jay and other walker's DNA, joining hands with HEX, Binary create a silver dream, or what Jay called as Frostnight in his last word before die, using the clone and Joey ability they success to awaken the Frostnight that enable them to delete and alter the universe as they want it to be. Joey in other hand send back again to his world by the leader of HEX, Lord Dogknife.
Synopsis
Knowing that the Interworld ship is going punch mode continuously in order to run away from HEX and Binary that already found out their location, Interworld can't stop nor slow down, therefore Joey can't go back to Interworld ship for now. With Acacia separated from him after that brutal fight with Lord Dogknife, Joey trying to recruit his other version of himself from the universe that previously he accidentally walk into, Josephine become his first recruit and going back to the future version of Interworld ship, the ship that has been abandoned for years but settled in old era.
Trying to find the others, Joey and Josephine with help of Hue travelling across time, and find his group (some of it) that has been send by the Old Man to training before they set the ship into punch mode. But going back to the interwold ship beta (the future version one, not the one in punch mode) is not easy because they can't travel through time, only universe, so they need Hue to help them. Separate team into two, the first team arrived savely but the second (including Joey) got trapped in a neverwhere where the Lady indigo (used to, now she just different) there and tried to kill them all.
Trying to save themselves from lady indigo and also in tight time racing to save the whole universe before the Frostnight erase all the universe also to help their Interwold Ship that has been in punch mode for so long, Joey indeed got so much in his plate.
Comparing Each Book In Series
These three books, although not so thick, indeed has the structure that usually all three book series usually has. Or is it just me being an OCD? let me explain
Plot
In the first book, Joey discover himself as a walker, joining Interword, got kicked from interworld, prove himself back to interworld to save his friends, and meet their first enemy. The HEX, who want to rule all universe with their magic.
In the second book, we not only encounter with Binary the one that want to rule the world with science, but also discovering not only traveling across the universe like the first book, but also time traveling with Acacia being introduced into the story with her group, the TimeWatch the one who protect the timeline, which like interworld who want the balance, but instead of Interworld that save the universe, TimeWatch is protecting the timeline, and being able to travel from time to time Acacia and TimeWatch just add more intersting plot.
In third book is the complete all story, the plot twist of Binary and HEX joining forces, Interworld group meeting the other TimeWatch agent aside from Acacia. And of course the whole explanation about all unanswered questions. No, the old man is not the actual Joey, and the woman that photographed with him in his desk is not the older Acacia but her aunt that looks exactly like her.
Characters Development
I won't explain too much about Joey's character development because i've done lots of it in the second book review. just click the picture below in case you miss it.
But the more character development in the third book is that how Joey become the leader of the group, he simply become THE Old Man in this Interworld ship beta. And the fears to be the one that they only remember as the leader is one, because of some new recruits never met the real Old Man.
We also got introduced to new characters that took lots of scene, Avery Jones for introduced as another member of TimeWatch society who is brother to Acacia, and also Josephine who is the first Joey's recruits that able to walk silently like a cat he said, which is highly potential for a walker.
Villain
The Villain in book one is HEX, with Lady Indigo as the main villain that Joey up to. She's charming for a villain for me, pretty yet dangerous. In the second book we met the Binary club, and also Lord Dogknife, again. To me Lord Dogknife reminds me a lot to the villain from the Inkheart series, because the mention of the reek of his breath. Which also lead him become the last book villain. To be honest i was a bit underestimate him at first book, but in the second book looking how he treated Joey he became quite scary.
Lady Indigo also reappears again in the third book, but she looked different with the spider like body. She reminds me to The Weaver from the ACOTAR trilogy. Her new form really scares me in comparison with how charming she was in the first book. Plus she's more powerful than she was in the first book. Lord Dogknife also become more and more powerful in the third book, not that he did something to his power to became more powerful, but because he showed how powerful he is in there.
He is definitely smarter than the Binary club, which is ironic because Binary are science team, not magic team like him, Lord Dogknife showed how much he knows his enemy, he knows what Joey capable of, unlike Binary that simply more interested to the Frostnight than the potential of the Interworld intervention to their plan.
Apart from those villain, we met the Joaquin, the man who "built" by Hex and Binary, sent to the Interworld to be the spy to help he Hex and Binary to start the Frostnight. He become the villain type that i want to give a hug to because of his sense of duty to power the Frostnight, but also in other side he is part of Interworld, built from Interworld people's DNA, he became Draco Malfoy to me here, he has to do what his parents want but he didn't want to to be honest. Which is a bit sad character.
In Conclusion
I like this book the best indeed. I like the new characters, the ending too because it explains a lot about all the questions that has been swirling around me while reading the book, i like Josephine a lot, too bad she's dead. Okay sorry for spoilers but yeah, the sadness is there, i think it always there in each book. This series not only talking about science and magic, but also mental health, how to cope with the loss too. So it's simply a whole package. I don't care if it's not fully written by Neil Gaiman as people claimed, but i really enjoy the reading no matter who wrote it. It's a Uh-Yeah for me! Go try read it
