About this listen
World War Three wiped out the humankind. The planet is empty now. Huge cities became dust and ashes. Railroads are being eaten by rust. Abandoned satellites hang lonely in their orbits. Radio is mute on all frequencies. The only survivors of the last war were those who made it into the gates of the Metro, the subway system of Moscow city.
It's there, hundreds of feet below the ground, in the vaults of what was constructed as the world's largest air-raid shelter, where now people try to outlive the end of days. It's there that they created a new world for themselves. The stations of the Metro became city-states, and its citizens, torn apart by religions and ideologies, are fighting for now-scarce commodities: air, water, and space.
This tiny underground world can only remind humans of an immense world they once were the masters of. It's been 20 years since Doomsday, and yet the survivors refuse to give up. The most stubborn of them keep cherishing a dream: when the radiation level from nuclear bombings subsides, they will be able to return to the surface and have the life their parents once had. But the most stubborn of the stubborn continues to search for other survivors in this huge emptiness that once was called Earth. His name is Artyom. He would give anything to lead his own people from the underground onto the surface.
And he will.

The ending isn't the typical gang round up and ride off into the sunset, and keeps in tune with the mood of the previous two books.
Another great ride that just sticks the landing

Metro 2035 discusses human nature, blind trust in authority figures and Artyom's quest to change the status quo within the Metro.
The metro remains an oppressive place however Metro 2035 has no mutants and no Dark Ones - the real horrors are the humans and their factions, the ongoing fighting and scheming within the metro.
The change in some characters may be jarring to some; I didn't mind the changes and I felt the author was pointing out humans often have hero worship for people who often don't deserve it.
Narration is very good; I've tried to read the books and found the audio versions far more enjoyable as the Russian to English translations of the novels meant passages were often very challenging to follow.
All in all, Metro 2035 is solid end to the Metro novel series.
Metro 2033 - 4.5/5.0
Metro 2034 - 3.0/5.0

Fantastic book series, anti-climactic ending

Brilliant!
I also love how the author depicted the social and political manipulation, and how it can be used. This felt like it could actually happen.
I highly recommend this whole series with the finale being the perfect ending.
depressingly realistically brilliant

Truly awesome narration. One of the best.
