Midnighters: Blue Noon by Scott Westerfeld

March 18th, 2008 by Laura Moncur in Literature

Blue Noon by Scott Westerfeld is the third and final book in the Midnighters series. You can read reviews for the first two books here:

I was so pleased with the completion of this series. Rex, Melissa, Dess, Jessica and Jonathan are surprised during the pep rally when the entire gym turns blue and the Midnight Time encroaches on real time. Melissa can taste the darklings celebrating in the distance because they have found a way to invade the human realm. After narrowly escaping becoming a halfling, Rex is surprised at his new-found abilities. Can he and the others prevent the darklings from turning Bixby, Oklahoma into a twenty-five hour a day feeding ground?

I loved the ending of this book and I found a few good quotes along the way as well:

Maybe kissing is sort of like nature’s coffee.

Scott Westerfeld, Midnighters: Blue Noon, 2005

High school wasn’t a trial by fire or some ordeal that had to be survived. It was all a big joke. You just had to provide the laugh track.

Scott Westerfeld, Midnighters: Blue Noon, 2005

Not everything made you stronger. It was possible to survive, yet still be crippled for your trouble. Sometimes it was okay to run away, to skip the test, to chicken out. Or at least to get some help.

Scott Westerfeld, Midnighters: Blue Noon, 2005

If you have ever felt like you were an outcast and didn’t quite fit in with the rest of the world, join the world of the Midnighters.
