Half Wild was released on 24 March 2015. [17] The third and final book in the series, Half Lost, was released in March 2016. [18]
Along the way Nathan meets various other people including Gabriel. Gabriel is very beautiful - even more beautiful than Annalise. He makes Annalise look v ordinary indeed. Gab is beautiful inside and out. Gab has the most beautiful, sexy, french accent ever. Gabriel talks about climbing and books and poetry and all Nathan can do is swear at Gab. All the secondary characters were wondrous. (except one, which I’ll get to later) I loved Gabriel even though he was for a short while in the end only, and all the other people who helped Nathan. Arran Byrn: Nathan's half brother who is always kind to Nathan and seems to be able to disregard the fact that they have different fathers. Do you know a story that goes something like this >>>> There's a poor family consisting of a mother and her bunch of kids, each one from a different father. Then there's that one kid (or more) who had a dad who was known for causing trouble... maybe he drank a lot, got into fights, ended up in prison... you know the kid I'm talking about? The one who has that dad? Well, everyone expects he'll turn out just the same. Everyone has their eye on that kid his whole life, expecting him to become just like his father, watching for his first mistake. And it makes him angry that people constantly expect the worst of him. It makes him lash out and get into fights and become something of a delinquent. It makes him exactly what everyone expected him to be. And people nod their heads and say "See! I told you so". And no one will ever know if that kid was always his father's son or if the other people in his life made him that way. At Ready Steady Cut, Jonathon Wilston described the show as “as guaranteed a hit as the platform has had in some time.” Andrew Murray at The Upcoming argued that it had “the style, personality and ideas” to “avoid becoming another casualty of cancellation, as has been the case with so many other similar shows.”
The love interest was mehhhhh. I was expecting a lot more from her but in the end I was so disappointed. TBH I think something shady is going on with her.

NATHAN. CRIES!!!!! I’d say that yes, he has gone through so much shit load of torture, that crying is justified and pretty reasonable. BUT. I see a lot of time in fantasy (and in other books too) that boys don’t cry. This is obviously a dumb stereotype. Even if a guy in a book is going through a lot of shit, he will never cry and that pisses me up to no extent. Like BITCH PLZ. Boys do cry!!He moves on to the top of my finger, over the fingernail. The needle goes through again. That's pretty much the entire book. There is a lot of torture, a lot of pain, and some very vague plans to find his daddy. He-Who-Must-Be-Named. Actually, his name is Marcus. So I must go to him. The title is underperforming and making people search “Half Bad” over “The Bastard” is much easier and sanitizes the name a little. This story is definitely character based and the reader is deep inside Nathan's head. The story and writing really involves the reader and at times switching to second person and using "you". It's a startling way to tell such a gritty story, but very intriguing. But then again, in saying this, I do kind of want to see what happens. I don't know I'm really unsure. I may try and read the next books at some point, but I don't really want to have to pay for them. I won't be going really out of my way to get the next books, but I do kinda want to give them a try. I am kind of interested to see what happens next, but then, I didn't find this book supremely engaging. I don't know... Real mixed emotions...
I'm sorry, but I'm afraid this review will be terribly short. The reason? Take the title and replace the word "Half" with "Totally". Here you have my review.
The magical, stunning conclusion to the internationally acclaimed Half Bad trilogy, the inspiration for the Netflix series The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself more emotional that we won’t be able to tell the story of Nathan, Gabriel and Annalise again. What a brilliant world Joe and Sally created. And these characters had a lot more to tell. But we move. Let’s be proud of the story already told. And thank you so much for the support from every single one of you and thank you also for the critical acclaim. It’s been an incredible experience.
They plan for the series to continue but with a different subtitle per season (after all, the main book series is called Half Bad). He doesn't reply, so I throw my jeans on the floor, get on my knees and say, "Can I have permission to go to the bathroom? Please?" I was sufficiently and unexpectedly blown away. "Half Bad" delivered more than greatness. It delivered a feeling to me that I haven't come across since reading Rothfuss's "The Name of the Wind." I literally could NOT put "Half Bad" down. I'm not sure if it was the unique POV that Green chose to use, the excellent storytelling, the believable dialogue, or a combination of all three, but I fell in with Nathan. Spiritually, emotionally, even physically (I was genuinely squirming in my seat at some points). His journey was my journey.I have a crisis going on everyday ignore me and read the review pls CUZ THIS IS WHAT YOU CAME FOR. LIGHTNING STRIKES EVERY TIME I WRITE A REVIEW OOOOHHOOO OHHOOO HOOOO This is rare for Netflix, but putting our conspiracy theory hat on for a second, we have three theories as to why Netflix would do this: Sixteen-year-old Nathan Bryne tries his best to fit in at school and at home, but his father's deadly legacy casts a long shadow.
Great Deal
