I am completely speechless. This book has truly blown my mind away. It is the third book written by Lois Lowry, following "The Giver" and "Gathering Blue".

If you were dissatisfied with the end of "The Giver", I highly recommend this book. As you read, you'll realize what has truly happened to Jonas and Gabe.

"The Messenger" focuses on Matty, a character who briefly appeared in "Gathering Blue". We can see that everything seems to be going well in the village where he is currently living. However, something ominous is approaching. It's not an unexplainable phenomenon or a fictional creature, but the society itself. The village, which was once a humble and sympathetic place, is now becoming wretched, selfish, and uncaring. This is basically what is going on in the world nowadays.

The book teaches us about bravery, courage, wisdom, and the inner strength that emerges during the darkest days. I loved the scene where Matty suggested healing Kira's leg, but she refused, stating that the limp was part of her identity. It made her whole and complete, teaching her to be stronger and to take pride in her pain.

I became really enthralled with this novel, and it is one of the best books I have ever read in my life. You must read it, without a doubt.
