“Oh my goodness, I can't believe this series is finished! I feel like I have been waiting for book three for so long. I am so happy to know how the story ends, but I am so sad that I won't get to spend any more time with these beloved characters. If you weren't already aware, I am a huge fan of Caragh M. O'Brien. You can check out my https://blameitonthebooks.com/2016/02/arc-review-the-rule-of-mirrors-by-caragh-m-obrien/ or my https://blameitonthebooks.com/2017/08/interview-caragh-m-obrien-keep-ages/ for the release of <em>The Keep of Ages</em> to learn more about this series.
Unfortunately, I can't gush about this book as much as I would like to because of spoilers. This series goes through major twists and turns throughout the books, so saying much of anything would give things away. But <em>The Keep of Ages</em> was absolutely fantastic and a wonderful conclusion to this series.
Caragh's books manage to keep you on your toes for the entire ride. Even if you think you can guess what is going to happen, you are probably wrong. The plot twists are so shocking and really make you think. Each book in the series is distinctly different, but they all tie together beautifully. There is also an incredibly thought-provoking discussion in <em>The Keep of Ages</em> about what defines you as a person - your brain? The functionality of your body? Your consciousness? Simply your existence?
The character development in <em>The Keep of Ages</em> was a wonderful continuation of what had been started in the beginning of the series. The same fantastic cast of characters was back fighting against the evil Dean Berg. I say this virtually every time I discuss Caragh's books, but she creates some the of creepiest villains I have ever read. They are so real that they feel like you could encounter them out in the real world. They are real people with real problems, and they find awful ways to deal with them. You want to be able to sympathize with them, but they are so horrible that you have to dislike them. Dean Berg is one of the best villains I have ever encountered in YA fiction, and he will always give me the creeps.
I highly, highly recommend the <em>Vault of Dreamers</em> trilogy. So often, young adult science fiction is packed with gizmos and gadgets and romance, but this series breaks the mold. It is an intense, action-packed, thought-provoking series that should be lauded as the best of its kind. <em>The Keep of Ages</em> releases today, so go get yourself a copy and start reading. You will be glad you did.

“a few minor plot holes (I think that's what they're referred to as lol) that I noticed, were:
1. what ends up happening with the forge school?
2. sooo is is orson just kind of a creep roaming free then??
3. what about that creep doctor who put the camera in Linus's eye?? or did she die, I don't think she did, but idk
4. what about that freaky chimera hospital in Iceland?? 😭
so for this reasons it's not 5 stars. 4.5 ⭐”
