I had high expectations for The Atlantis World after enjoying the first two books in the series so much. I was not disappointed. This book is bit shorter than its predecessor's so I read it a little quicker. It's a good ending to what has been a hugely enjoyable science fiction / dystopian / futuristic trilogy. The structure is similar to the other books with the POV bouncing between Kate, David and Dorian, gradually pulling their different story threads together. After two books I felt like I knew the characters pretty well. Kate wants to save the world. David loves her and wants to do whatever it takes to be by her side. Dorian is his usual psychotic murderer self. Like the other books, The Atlantis World is fast paced and spectacular at times. I look forward to reading more by the author.
