This is the final book in Chuck Wendig’s Heartland Trilogy. And there is a part of me that is very glad to be finally done, but I don’t want you to think I didn’t enjoy it, because I did.

Normal people can only access 10% or less, so they are called Fractions, for a fraction of 10% (which doesn’t make sense to me, but whatever.) Powers include […]
