Extras, unlike the other books in the series, was one of the books I would not personally recommend. It is a book you would want to read because it is part of the series, but even if you decided not to read the book you would be fine.
The book itself is nothing like the first three books in the series. This last book is rather inconsistent with the story line, essentially bringing down the series. The book is from a whole new perspective. The book is from the point of view of Aya Fuse, now the main character in the book. The book takes place during a “post-Tally” time, three years after Specials. During this time, every person in each city updates his or her own news feed hoping to gain fame and possibly let go of the title “extra”. They want to be someone in their world.
This book, being the last book of the series, has no real connection to the original plot. The series would have been perfectly fine without this last book. It isn’t a bad read, it just doesn’t go with the rest of the series.
Recommend: No
