Matty has lived in Village six years ever since he left his community. He's now the messenger both in town and to the other nearby communities. He is one of the few able to go through the Forest. But now the Forest is starting to worry him and the Village has decided to close and not allow any more new refugees in. It is up to Matty to let the other communities know and to travel back to his original home to bring back his friend Kira before the town's wall closes forever. He didn't realize that the Forest would attack them and not let them back. It will take Kira's gift, the Leader's gift, and most importantly his gift to save the Forest and Village.
This is the obvious sequel to Gathering Blue and third book in The Giver series. While no names are given, it is obvious that characters from The Giver are in Messenger. I really liked this book. It was a good sequel to Gathering Blue. In my opinion the books in the series are becoming more traditional fantasy with each new book. This book deals mainly with "gifts" and the fight between good and evil - both very traditional fantasy elements.
