The delineation between an adult book and a young adult book mostly comes down to focus characters and to an extent writing style; young adult books aren't necessarily less mature in subject matter, but they typically star characters in their teens or early 20s (i.e. the target demographic) and are written with a high-school level vocabulary and reasonably clear prose. I don't think any of the AC novels are more complex in prose than Last Descendants, but since LD stars teenaged characters, it gets included in the young adult category, unlike the others.

OK, that makes sense, thanks for the explanation :) I think in that case I prefer YA novels - just so much easier to read!

I've read all three of them and have very much enjoyed them. As you said, the "young adult" tag is a little bit of a weird one, but as i'm considering myself more of an "old child" i didn't paid it too much attention. For me, they rank around the same level - or even slightly higher - as the Fragments series. On a side note, you should read the Locus comics, they really complement the novels.

[@LetsTalkAc]

Yeah the YA label on books is an odd one to me. I do actually have Locus as a PDF that I bought as part of the Humble Bundle last year...based on your recommendation I am going to read it today!

The Last Descendants are some of the best AC books out there. The sequence that explored the archetypes and our shared consciousness was particularly fascinating for me as a scholar of psychology. I don't think we've had such a thorough deconstruction of the Animus and it's effects on the mind anywhere else in the franchise.

[@LetsTalkAc]

100% agree. This sequence (lol) was really something - it made you consider how humanity would have been *built*.

[@LetsTalkAc]
