Hunger was increasingly more intense with each chapter. With the Perdido beach crew safe for the moment from Caine, and Drake their attention is now focused on their never ending hunger. The food is running out, and no one thought in the beginning to freeze the meat, and items that would spoil. Albert insists that the only way to get everyone working is with some kind of reward system, but Sam is so naive he thinks people will work because they want to eat. The problem is, someone will feed them whether they work or not.. (Sound familiar?? lol)

The beginning of this novel made a huge impact in me. I didn’t expect it to start off that strong, but you know the FAYZ, anything can happen. I enjoyed this book so much, but the pacing for some reason felt slow to me. I couldn’t put down Gone (the first book in the series), but for Huger I felt more of an effort to keep reading. Nevertheless, the book is amazing. The plot and especially the final climax are so intense. Some times I forget that these are children we’re talking about.
As for characters, I love the development of the Coates freaks that live in Perdido Beach (Dekka, Brianna ‘The Breeze’, Computer Jack, and Taylor). I just feel like their loyalty and character defines so much of what will continue happening in the story, since they all got powers. Another character that surprised me was Zil, I hated him with my guts. Such a self-conscious character who rises to be a leader. That’s a recipe for disaster. And I can’t leave without praising Duck, we ADORE him.
Such a well thought out book, I’m loving this series. Would 100% recommend!

Tenia muchas ganas de poder continuar la saga olvidados. Mi parabatai no dejaba de decirme millones de veces que debia continuar leyendo. Asi que finalmente continue y no me ha defraudado. Tal vez no me haya gustado tanto como olividados pero igualmente me ha encantado aun siendo mas aburrido.
Ya se que el siguiente sera aun mas entretenido asi que espero con ansia el poder leermelo
Debo decir que me siento rara diciendo que mis favoritos en estos momentos son Jack (mi amor eterno) Diana, Brianna y Caine (si me encantan)Tengo debilidad por los de Coates y por Brianna porque ella no puede ser odiada por nadie
El caso es que todos deberian leer esta saga que me ha enganchado y que me obliga a descargarme el PDF de Lies pero ya

I really enjoyed the book, I got really invested. I enjoyed it more then the first because it was an answer to so many questions. We got to see more kids use powers and get stronger with them. We got to see how kids created a government and how they controlled the horrible situation of famine. It was really well written I enjoyed the way that I was always wanting to know either how they will come up with the solution to this or if someone died. Like Drake shooting at Dekka I thought for sure she was dead but really Orc had saved her and again the Coyotes eating her, Diana hitting her head, Lana being part of the monster, Edilio being shot I thought omg they were all dead. But they didn’t die. And the radiation! Except I really hope that Duck isn’t dead and that he comes back in a later book.

I read this book in hopes it was better than the first. I was wrong. Don’t read it.
