Book 3 in the MaddAddam trilogy.
In the final novel of the series, Atwood combines the characters of the first two books in their fight to survive not just the end of the world, but the ruthless criminals who are hunting them. Toby becomes something of a prophet to the Crakers while Snowman-the-Jimmy recovers from his festering foot wound. The group of former God's Gardeners, former MaddAddamites, and Crakers makes an even odder alliance in order to defeat the Painballers before they're attacked. Our flashbacks follow Zeb, a God's Gardener who ripped the cult in half years ago. He's desperate to find Adam One, just for the peace of mind of knowing if he's alive or dead.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I think it's the best of the series. While there are plenty of flashbacks into Zeb's childhood and life before the God's Gardeners, I feel like this book stayed in the present more than the first two. I loved the interactions between the humans and pigoons, especially the Craker involvement. I had quite a few laugh out loud moments when Toby relates stories to the Crakers. All in all, a great ending to a great trilogy.
