What did you think of it? Favorite or least favorite characters? Favorite or least favorite part? Will you read the next one?

The 5th wave was better then the sequel
I was utterly disappointed with the sequel

Ringer least favorite character

Cassie and Evan favorite characters

I'm going to read the next one

Agreed. This was such a disappointment. What was spending so much time with Ringer? I did not enjoy her POV at all. The first book was full of action but this one had way too many internal dialogue and no exciting things happening at all.

My favorite is also Cassie and Evan.

Also wonder how he'll reconcile the time with Ringer and the others. Ringer's story was at least a month while the other people's story was like a few days.

I will read the next one though. I just can't give up on this series.

I actually liked this sequel, sure it's a disapointment compared to the first book in the series but overall I enjoyed that this book focused on Ringer.

I was rather curious about her in the first book because there were no P.o.V of her. (There was no Ben P.o.V in the book... maybe the last book will focus on him?)

Favourite character is obviously Evan and surprisingly I'm warming up to Poundcake.

Least favourite was maybe Teacup.

Of course I will continue the series. COunting down the days!

My favorite character was either Ringer or Evan
My least favorite character was Teacup I thought she was annoying.

Am I the only one who didn't cry when (view spoiler)[Evan died? Because I suspect he's gonna come back in book 3, somehow... (hide spoiler)]

This one... wow. It leaves you feeling terribly confused, with a lot of unanswered questions that make you want to dig into the next book ASAP (Not a year later!!!). That being said...

Being that confused about what is going on in a book isn't necessarily a great thing. So, are the Others really (view spoiler)[ aliens, or humans who have set out to wipe out their own race??? If it's humans, why in the world did they do it? I can't conceivably think of any reason that enough humans that would be needed to cause a catastrophe on this level would band together to kill 95% of the world's population, send children in with bombs in their throats to blow up survivors, etc etc. If there are enough people in this world that believe this is the solution to saving our planet, or whatever half-brained reason there is behind the destruction, I would have want to been part of the first group to go. I certainly wouldn't want to live in the sadistic world left behind! (hide spoiler)]

This series feels like somebody took The Host and Hunger Games and mooshed them together, added a few additional sadistic twists, threw in a little weird "why are they doing this if he just betrayed her" sex, and called it done. The first book was better at putting that whole concept together (except for the weird sex, there wasn't any of that in the first book), where the second book fell a little short. The reason I did give it 4 stars is because it does leave you craving the next book, NEEDING to know what happens next.

One of my biggest issues was this book was that half of it was from Ringer's POV. And... I just didn't care enough about Ringer after the first book, to care to read so much of her story. I wanted more of Cassie's story. I hate it when the author writes so much from one character's POV in one book, and you become attached to said character, and then introduces another character's POV, wherein which the second character does their best to show why you just shouldn't like the first character (the Percy Jackson books are guilty of this, as well). And Ben... what a pain in the ass he becomes in the second book. His character started off weak in the first book, and got stronger throughout, and then in the second book, he just went back to being plain annoying and wishy washy. I sincerely hope he doesn't end up with Cassie. Please don't let him end up with Cassie.

So - to summarize - however disappointed I may have been in some of the things that happened in this book, I'm not the author and it's his story to tell - and the writing was still really really good. I eagerly wait for the next book to come out!

Being that ..."

I had the exact same issue with the Ringer POV, it just left me wanting more Cassie.

I loved it! I was glad it focused a lot on Ringer, and how she became who she is, and her falling for Razor. i cri evry tiem

I loved this book. I thought it was better than the first one. I loved seeing Ringer and hearing about her all the time. That was great. And then she falls for Razor! That killed my little fangirl heart. Then he died. That crushed the rest of my soul.
