Tyler Ballard was in prison when his son created a dreamworld called Foreverland, a place so boundless and spellbinding that no one ever wanted to leave. Or did. Now his son is dead, his wife is comatose, and Tyler is still imprisoned.
But he planned it that way.
The final piece of his vision falls into place when Alessandra Diosa investigates the crimes of Foreverland. Tyler will use her to create a new dimension of reality beyond anything his son ever imagined; a Foreverland for the entire world.
Danny, living outside of Spain since escaping the very first Foreverland, begins receiving mysterious clues that lead him to Cyn. They are both Foreverland survivors, but they have more in common than survival. They become pieces of another grand plan, one designed to stop Tyler Ballard. No one knows who is sending the clues, but some suspect Reed, another Foreverland survivor. Reed, however, is dead.
Everyone will make one last trip back to Foreverland to find out who sent them. And why.

It will mess with your mind and leave you mindblown By Genie What I've loved from the very beginning of this series is the overall concept - it's so fascinating. The virtual reality which seems so much like the real world, and how it affects those involved in it is something that definitely reminds me of Inception (so if you loved that movie, you're sure to love this book). However, despite that similarity, Ashes of Foreverland, and the previous installments - all take that idea even deeper. There are multiple POV's, though all written in third person which allows for such poignant prose to shine."Is the physical world any more legitimate than Foreverland? Under what pretense is physicality the gold standard? That was the question he begged all of humankind to answer."This book asks the question - at what point does science take things too far? When is the reality of humanity more important? Where is that line and what happens if you were to cross it? There's a definite existentialist vibe coming through here, and it almost feels philosophical, if you want to take it that way. How Danny Boy, Alessandra and Cyn were impacted upon by the works of Tyler Ballard and his wife Patricia is multifaceted and endlessly intricate. When you're dealing with such topics as the mind and how perceptions of reality combined with that 'nothingness' which you could fall into is so captivating. I also really liked how this picked up on Tony Bertauski's other Halfskin series (and the fourth 'Foreverland' novel will combine these two series together fully.)"Time was the god that meted out each grain with methodic timing and refused to sell more. Time was a cruel god that promised eternity. But delivered only the past."There's also, as always, some fantastic mystery/thriller elements here to keep those pages turning. From hidden messages in endless parcels written with signature green ink, to characters who turn out not to be who you thought they were - it's all here and left me going WOW. One thing to remember with these novels is expect the unexpected and trust no one. That being said, there were a few surprises where some of the people who you perhaps thought were bad weren't after all."The ceiling swirled into the sky, the walls fell apart. There was no sensation of travel, no illusion of space. The needle's kiss."FINAL THOUGHTSThe characters in this books have their minds messed with, and just reading this will probably do the same to you (in the best possible way of course). If you're a sci-fi or Inception fan who and looking to be mindblown, then I'd definitely recommend this!

Ashes, Ashes, All Fall Down By DrPat If you haven't read the first two books in the trilogy, this review may contain SPOILERS."Annihilation" was about boys on a paradise-island shutting down the lure of Foreverland to avoid being severed from their bodies. "Dead" had girls escaping from their cold concentration camp to evade the same fate.Now in "Ashes of Foreverland," those who got out of their prisons are beginning to wonder if Foreverland is still waiting for them somewhere. A journalist, Allesandra, has started to investigate the crimes of the cabal that organised Foreverland, and part of her story is an interview with Tyler Ballard, in prison for life for his original Foreverland experiments, the ones that eventually killed his son and hospitalized his wife. What Alessandra discovers brings her entire world into question:* If Ballard is in prison, why does everyone around him—including his guards and the warden—do his bidding?* Why has his comatose wife Patricia been moved into the same building where there are ongoing Ballard-style dream experiments using animals?* What draws Alessandra so strongly to this building, to the dream-state lab?* Who are the Foreverland escapees, Danny and Cyn, and what are they to Alessandra?* Who is the mysterious doctor-director of the dream-state lab?As Ballard works to create a world-wide Foreverland, Alessandra fights to find a path through an increasingly confusing world that may not be as real as anyone—Ballard, Danny, Cyn, or Alessandra herself—thinks.Together, the three novels of this trilogy present a powerful statement about reality and the lure of dreams. The "Foreverland Boxed" set was my first encounter with Bertauski, and I will definitely be looking for more of his work.

BWAAAAAAAHHH By PSW Disclosure: I was given a copy of this book by the author in exchange for an honest review.Sometimes, at the conclusion of a great story, you just sit back and say "damn".The three Foreverland stories are very different, but all revolve around the sinister paradise of Foreverland. "Ashes of Foreverland" takes the ideas and momentum of the first two stories and goes a bit mental, in a good way."Ashes" is very layered, weaving in and out of realities and in and out of story-lines. We see some familiar faces, and some new faces, and some faces that might be familiar or might not be. It also weaves in some elements of Tony's other books, which is quite interesting.Things I liked:• Lots of craziness - Everything was on edge all the time, didn't let up the whole book• Character Growth - Danny and Cyn really grow up during the course of this book. I think they learn a lot about themselves as they fight through the story.• Ending - The ending of "Foreverland is Dead" made me go "ahhhh what was that?!?". I had a similar reaction to the end of "Ashes", but in a very different way. Very fitting.Things I didn't like:• Too much stuff - I did feel like there were a lot of ideas shoved into this story, maybe a few too many.• The fate of some characters - No spoilers but I didn't really like the way some characters from earlier books were dealt with towards the end. But, I guess, it was fitting for the tone of the story.Final thoughts:If you liked the first two stories in this series, you will love this story. It is a fitting end (?) to the Foreverland Saga; it will confuse you for a while, it will make you second-guess where the characters are, and it will make you go "hmmm, oh....damn". I highly recommend "Ashes of Foreverland", and, of course, the preceding Foreverland stories.
