I love Ringer. She was the best. Kind of weird that Ben didn’t get any sections in this book. I still can’t stand Evan, and Cassie is hard for me to like in this one. Don’t know that I’ll be reading the third.

I couldn't remember much of [b:The 5th Wave|16101128|The 5th Wave (The Fifth Wave, #1)|Rick Yancey|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1359853842s/16101128.jpg|19187812] when I started this sequel, but luckily Yancey filled me in. Exciting dystopia right here! And looking forward to the movie.

The idea is great. Aliens, kids, adolescence problems, action: perfect combination. The quantity and quality of the plot twists is amazing, and there's at least a reason why I care about every single character.
But, I don't know why nor how, this book has managed to become cliché at some point.
I mean, let's talk about it. The whole love-is-the-only-thing-that-nobody-can-control part made me feel like I was rereading Harry Potter, how can it be the end of a complicated game of tricks and illusions and betrayal and war like the one that was in this book?
And then we have the ships. I am ashamed about this point, seriously. There were a hundred possibilities to create unique relationships between the characters - Evan could just have died and left Ben and Cassie to be together, while Ringer and Razor lived with their betrayals inside the enemy's base until they figured a way to kill everyone or got caught as part of their twisted game. And instead of letting things go in unexpected ways, I have seen only events that didn't hit the relationships between each other in any significant way.
I hope there's something better in the next book, or this saga will leave me with my mouth sour. And that's totally not what I want.

I loved The 5th Wave so much! The follow up fell flat for me. Nothing happened. I really don't even feel that the story progressed at all. The frequent POV change didn't help. Disappointed.
