This is Book 6 in the GONE series that Stephen King calls a “driving, torrential narrative.” All eyes are on Perdido Beach. The barrier wall is now as clear as glass and life in the FAYZ is visible for the entire outside world to see. Life inside the dome remains a constant battle and the Darkness, away from watchful eyes, grows and grows… The society that Sam and Astrid have struggled so hard to build is about to be shattered for good. It’s the end of the FAYZ. Who will survive to see the light of day? This is the nail-biting finale to the GONE saga. The GONE series is Lord of the Flies for the 21st century. In turns breathtaking, harrowing, and utterly terrifying. Its complex characters and moral dilemmas will delight fans of The Hunger Games, Divergent and The Maze Runner. This is dystopian fiction at its best. Have you read all 6 titles in the New York Times bestselling saga: Gone, Hunger, Lies, Plague, Fear, and Light? “I am now free to leave the FAYZ, but my time there was well spent.” —Stephen King Review: I just freaking loved it. Perfect ending. - Title: Light (Final book in the Gone Series) Author: Michael Grant Rating: 5 Stars My Review - No MAJOR Spoilers. Some minor ones... Ok, so I JUST finished this story and I am tempted to just babble, "I loved it" repeatedly like a lunatic. But the truth is, I LOVED it. Perfect, perfect, perfect ending. I absolutely absorbed this book, and I knew I would. I've been on this ride with Mr. Grant for a while now and I have a lot invested in this story. Having *just* set the release date for the end of my own trilogy, I have a new and sustaining respect for anyone who attempts to bring an epic story to a satisfactory close. And the GONE series is EPIC. I love it. Ironically, the "world" is a small space, but it's an entirely different universe, no different from Middle Earth in its need for world-building. I love the "truth" of being teenagers forced to face adult issues. I love the "truth" of duality: good and evil, bravery and cowardice, life and death. In the end (though I tend to say this too often about this series) Grant is BRAVE. You know why I think so? Let me break it into categories for you. (And you thought I was going to be brief. HA!) Social Issues: Grant is brave because he's willing to muck about in religious waters that often scare authors, particularly ya authors. He has characters that had faith that lose it and others that gain it. He has characters that have no idea what they believe, but who feel the pull of ritual, the desire the make sense of it all. But none of it is a simple, trite, easy answer. Grant is brave because he's not afraid to write about 15 year olds having sex with *gasp, heaven-forbid* a few details thrown in, KNOWING that this is authentic to his story and that the characters are essentially ADULTS given their situation. Still, people are terrified of this in ya. (Bravo for showing a loving, mutual relationship in Sam and Astrid, as well.) Grant is brave because he deals in all those real-life issues of race and prejudice. Like Albert. He's the "businessman" but he's African-American, and characters are wary of him in this role at first (until they realize they're hungry). And Edilio, often referenced as the "wetback" by the nastier or more ignorant characters. The way that Grant addresses those issues and turns them on their ear without sounding preachy is excellent and gives a lot of DEPTH to a story for and about teens that one would not associate with "superhero" kind of stuff. (ie - Most adults who don't appreciate graphic novels and comics don't realize these media can include serious discussion topics) Writing: Grant is brave because he wasn't afraid to write it his way, with a kabillion shifting POVs, sometimes that last for only a few sentences at a time! No fear of HEAD-HOPPING here. Grant is brave because he wrote a sprawling epic that has WAY too many words to be MARKETABLE, right? Grant is brave because he's not afraid to take on a modern-day "Lord of the Flies" in a time when we've become increasingly uncomfortable with precocious youth. BACK TO "LIGHT" IN PARTICULAR This may be one of my favorite endings to an epic tale ever. It had exactly the right amount of tragic loss, gut-wrenching, heart-stopping loss, AND heroism, and triumph, and sacrifice and REDEMPTION. In the end, that is what this story is about, I think: redemption. I never expected anything that Caine ever said to anyone, especially Diana, to make me cry. But it did. And it was perfect. And I never expected a kiss between Astrid and Sam to feel like the last gasp of a marathon when you feel the tape snap across your chest, but it did. I practically pumped my fist in the air! (Ok, I did pump my fist in the air.) And I never expected to be so moved, so entertained, and so enthralled by such an odd, personal, and utterly genre-breaking story as the Gone Series. But I was. Go out. Buy it. Read it. May I be so fortunate as to write something that makes people say the same. Review: Masterful Conclusion to a Series Destined to Become a Classic - I bought the first Gone novel on impulse just days after its initial release and have been avidly following the series ever since. Endings, wherein the author has to solve the mysteries and bring all of the plots and sub-plots to completion in a believable way for the reader are understandably difficult and Michael Grant has succeeded beyond even the wildest of expectations. Gone is at heart about the characters and the relationships, but the series also has strong plotting and if the ending hadn't been done well, the brilliance of the heart-rending characters, their loves and hates and the terrible choices they have to make would have been weakened. Let me just say there isn't anything weak about the finale. It has been over a year since the Dome descended on Perdido Beach, originally trapping everyone under the age of fifteen within its sphere. Since then, the survivors have dealt with starvation, injury, disease, resource wars and power wars, the development of mutations that give some of the residents super powers and changed bodies and all of the emotional trauma and growth that such a situation brings. Friendships and loves and coalitions are built and destroyed and built again with new formations. Moral choices are made, reviewed, regretted and lived with in situations where there are no good choices and the effects on Perdido Beach and on the characters are lasting, real and believable. The Gone series and Light in particular are so well plotted and action-packed that it would be easy to overlook the fact that these novels are in fact profoundly moral character studies with real depth. The Dome around Perdido Beach has become transparent and people can now see both out and in, but the children still aren't free. The watching world is beginning to get some idea of just how terrible conditions have been for the children trapped within not only because of the physical and emotional condition of the children, but because the skirmished and conflict that mark life in the Fayz are all to visible to the watching world. Add to that the sense of destiny descending in the form of a final battle between the beleaguered residents of the Fayz, the evil that grew out of the nuclear accident and a cosmic blowback and the residents lining up on both sides of the good and evil divide and the scene is set. Grant doesn't disappoint with his conclusion. Not only do the characters have more believably human traits and choices for both good and evil, but all of the relationships are superb, both friendships and romances. I recently wrote a couple of bad reviews about YA fiction that had harmful messages about romance and it is a joy to report that all of the relationships in Perdido Beach are between flawed and lovable equals whether they be male of female, friends or lovers, gay or straight. It is an inspiration to read. Grant gets a big check plus for sending great messages to young people about what love actually is - that it involves the bad days as well as the good and that one loves the person not only for their virtues but for their flaws as well. An amazing message that we all need to read, hear and remember to practice. I've been careful not to give spoilers about Light, leaving that for the reader to discover but Light is a strong finish to an amazing series, a series I honestly do believe will become a classic of the genre. If you haven't read the other novels in the Gone series, start at the beginning and have a wonderful book marathon. If you have been anxiously awaiting the finale, rest assured that Light is worth the wait and won't disappoint. Highest recommendation for the finale and the series. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #56,822 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #8 in Teen & Young Adult Fiction about Being a Teen (Books) #36 in Teen & Young Adult Alien Science Fiction #51 in Teen & Young Adult Apocalyptic & Post-Apocalyptic eBooks | ## Images ![Light (Gone Book 6) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81vbRab5FIL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I just freaking loved it.

You read each book in the series hungrily, devouring it like it was your first meal in months. Then you come to the last book. You have been waiting for this book for years (literally!). You want to read it as fast as you can to find out what happens; you want to savor it and make it last since there are no more. What do you do? If you are anything like I was with Light by Michael Grant, that moment where you consider "savoring" it lasts about 24 hours until you can't take it anymore and rip into it like a ravenous beast! Life in the FAYZ has never been easy, but now that the gaiaphage has taken a body, it is even more dangerous. No longer just a green blob controlling minds from the depths of a cave, Gaia can travel around, is growing exponentially, and can use the powers of any living kid in the FAYZ. The kids are scattered now that the wall has gone clear, and most are spending their time looking through the dome at their parents in the hopes that they will soon get out. In the meantime, no food is being harvested or fished, kids are starving right in front of their parents, and Gaia has a plan. If she can take a body, so can Nemesis (the disembodied Little Pete), and she must prevent him from doing what she did if she plans to escape the FAYZ. She must kill every kid possible to prevent him from taking a body. What Gaia doesn't expect is that while her body allows her to to be more mobile and therefore more powerful, it also makes her more human, complete with the ability to be hurt and feel pain. Sure she can heal herself through Lana's power, but she can still weaken. This was unexpected, and it makes her realize she must be more careful in her plan. But Caine and Sam are out there, and although they never had a brotherly connection, there is one thing they can do together as the most powerful kids in the FAYZ. They can hunt Gaia. But how do you kill a creature with every power in her arsenal? Oh Holy FAYZ Batman! I can't even take it. I want to cry knowing this series is over and I want to REJOICE with how it ended. I absolutely loved this book, this series, these characters, and everything in between. Part of me wants to BEG Michael Grant to write more about these kids, but the rest of me is so happy with the way it ended (despite it being bittersweet), I don't want to ruin the feeling of finality. I was so worried this ending was going to disappoint, but how silly I was. How could the author who wrote this brilliant series NOT come out with a heart-stopping conclusion? And oh boy, did he! So here comes my plea. Put this series on your shelves of your classroom, your library, your kids rooms. This is a series that can get even the most reluctant students reading (and it has! I have seen it with my own eyes!). It is exciting, entertaining, heart-stopping, and you will not be sorry if you turn a student onto this story. It is mature and gruesome at times, but in a world where our teens can smell BS a mile away, this series will make them read and think like adults. They will know how much respect Grant has for them, because he isn't afraid to go dark with his stories. He isn't afraid to challenge teens to think about their lives, the privileges they enjoy, and the things they would fight to the death for. And that is the kind of stuff our young readers want to read. So do it. Put this series on your shelves. Peddle it to your teen readers. And make sure the kids of the FAYZ enter your heart too! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/99143862-light-gone-book-6](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/99143862-light-gone-book-6) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
