Mmmm, after the intensity of "Hunger" this one slips a little. I know, I KNOW the main characters are teenagers, but some of the decisions they make in this story had me going "oh hell no."
I also don't understand the addition of new characters who arrive in a fairly spectacular manner only to be ignored for the book's remainder. Their obvious arrival isn't even mentioned by the main characters. Say what? Definitely a weak plot point.
Astrid and Sam rapidly become less and less heroic, which isn't a surprise. I do like how Diana is starting to grow a conscience. Will she be the one to bring down Caine? That evil little cockroach deserves a few weeks of torment before dying.
Despite the nitpicks I have with "Lies", I downloaded "Plague" after finishing the last page of "Lies." I really want to see how this deepening disaster plays out for the remaining characters.
Sounds like existence in the FAYZ is going to become much, much worse.

Addicting as all get out. If you're a fan of killer YA novels, read this entire series (Gone, Hunger, and Lies). The 4th book launches tomorrow. STOKED.

There’s nothing wrong with the writing and I imagine the characters deal with realistic struggles in the context of the story. This is totally a me thing. I just got tired of the endless desperation and hopelessness. I feel like there’s enough of that in the real world that I don’t need to immerse myself in it in a fictional world too.
