Amazing, easy to get addicted.
This is the sequel to Gone. I've waited a few months after reading Gone to reading this because I've read an extract which was pretty gruesome, but I regret that. It's brilliant. A book where everyone over 15 disappears, and on your 15th birthday, you disappear, or "poof", too. In this, a major conflict in Gone, which is poofing on your 15th birthday, is resolved. Now a new conflict is rising, a conflict that some could argue is even worse than poofing: starvation. People eating cats and dogs, eating grass, 14 year-old alcoholics, people as young as 9 smoking pot and some people thinking of even resorting to cannibalism. But that's not all. Another major conflict in the 1st book is talking coyotes and something called the Darkness, who pretty much is a demon that possesses people. And that's still a problem in this book. The Darkness is revealed to have a name - the Gaiaphage - and is hungry too. It needs radiation. So it makes Caine get radiation from the town's power plant and leaves the FAYZ in total darkness. People are thinking of stepping out, which is pretty much committing suicide. It's where you choose to poof, even though you have the option to live even when you turn 15. Also, more and more people are developing powers and a gang called the Human Crew pretty much tortures people with powers, whom they call freaks. There are giant mutated worms who eat people. It deals with mature topics, some I've already mentioned like prejudice, suicide and torture, but also autism, eating disorders, LGBT+ people, depression, etc. There are a wide set of diverse, lovable and complex characters and instead of sticking to the point of view of just one character, it takes the point of view of a ton of characters, which some might not like, but I love. It helps develop the characters a lot. In Gone it kind of did that a bit, but I don't think they did it as much. The protagonist (though I don't know if I can even call him a protagonist since there's so many point of views from different characters, but whatever) has developed a lot and has become more interesting and more conflicted. It's amazing to see these characters when they first appeared to how they are now, they've developed so much. I think this is better, and darker, than Gone. This is what I wish every sequel could be like. It's amazing.
