Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Redemption
Scott Wallens · 2002
62/100
👎 Skip It
As a series finale, Redemption earns its emotional payoff for devoted fans of the Sevens sequence — the themes of guilt and forgiveness land because readers have spent six books with these kids. But it is nearly unreadable as a standalone, and critical coverage is thin enough that Penny can't assess the craft independently. Start the series first.
