![]() ![]() Little does she know that in investigating the truth she will unlock not only her destiny but also make enemies stronger than any she even realise existed. When the council, the controllers of Wormwood say that Herms has been taken by monsters from the Quag though and a wall must be built to protect the people from them Vega Jane begins to question just what Wormwood is. When she finds a map left for her by Herms she realises there is a way out of Wormwood, something she never thought possible. The Finisheris the story of Vega Jane a “Finisher” who witnesses her mentor Quentin Herms escaping the only home they know, Wormwood and escaping to the unknown and dangerous wilderness known as the Quag. The Finisher by David Baldacci is a new fantasy novel that looks at the paranoia and fear about the outside world and creates a story of rebellion where one strong girl fights to escape a world that looks to restrict her and if anything stop her becoming the woman she is destined to be. Examples of this are novels like Twilight, where no matter what we think about the quality of the book it’s still about a young woman finding love with a creature that you’d not really expect it to be found, it is a fight against the “normal”. When fiction is aimed at young adults the themes used are a lot of the times about rebellion, a bout fighting to be independent and to have choice. ![]()
