The Towering Sky

By Katharine McGee

The final book in Katharine McGee's epic New York Times bestselling Thousandth Floor series

When you have everything, you have everything to lose.

Welcome back to New York, 2119. A skyscraper city, fueled by impossible dreams.

LEDA just wants to move on from what happened in Dubai. Until a new investigation forces her to seek help—from the person she’s spent all year trying to forget.

RYLIN is back in her old life, reunited with an old flame. But when she starts seeing Cord again, she finds herself torn: between two worlds, and two very different boys.

CALLIOPE feels trapped, playing a long con that costs more than she bargained for. What happens when all her lies catch up with her?

WATT is still desperately in love with Leda. He’ll do anything to win her back—even dig up secrets that are better left buried.

And now that AVERY is home from England—with a new boyfriend, Max—her life seems more picture-perfect than ever. So why does she feel like she would rather be anything but perfect?

Perfect for fans of Kiera Cass and Anna Godbersen, and with all the drama, romance, and hidden secrets from The Thousandth Floor and The Dazzling Heights, this explosive finale will not disappoint.

Reviews for The Towering Sky

[jessika.c · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

I’m so mad about the ending. I’ll just place a spoiler so I can rant a bit because I can’t be bothered to summarize the book without spoiling what I hated about the ending.Dear Katharine, you can’t just make me hate Calliope then expect me to be happy she got a happy ending. No. It wasn’t going to happen. I couldn’t stand her at all and then for her to end up with the misunderstood bad boy? Nope. I refuse to accept it. I don’t mind Avery faking her death and running away so she could maybe one day meet up with Atlas but to make that her sole motivation made me roll my eyes. I’d rather she’d travel the world first on her own and discover herself before giving in to being with one guy forever. At least my girl Leda Cole came out unscathed but even then all her problems couldn’t have just gone away. I would’ve liked to have seen her go back to therapy or something because she can’t be completely fine after the scare crazy super computer gave all of them. Watt is still great though.Rylin frustrates me the most. Not everything is about her, other people have complicated feelings too. I guess it was more disappointing because I expected so much from her and got little to nothing of growth in the end. She gets a do-over with Chord just because? No. I refuse. Don’t get wrong, loose ends were tied up nothing of great importance was left up in the air. There was a nice moment where I could fill the rest with my own interpretation but me being petty and mean didn’t like how others didn’t have the ending I would have wanted them to have. It’s perfectly readable this bad rating is just what I was disappointed in.
