When we left Cassie at the end of The 5th Wave, her rebel alien boyfriend had blown up the aliens' military compound, allowing her to escape with her brother, her high school crush, and their platoon of child soldiers. The bulk of The Infinite Sea centers on Ringer, a soldier who goes on a scouting mission from their new base and ends up in one impossible situation after another. This sequel didn't grab me quite as much as the original, but it was compelling and ended with a twist I thought about for days. Well played, Yancey.

action packed!! Makes me wish the novel was entirely from the perspective of Ringer. I love her character development and her journey through this book.
3.5 really. I'm going to finish the series because I just want to know, but overall it's a good book, not great, not terrible. I do like that this book isn't so Cassie-centric and I love Ringer, her story is the best part of the book.
Not as good or gripping as The Fifth Wave. I found the narrative uneven and jarring, as it switches between several POVs. I'm still interested in the story, but couldn't help feeling like the author got caught up in his own cleverness, both with the narrative and some of the description, especially dream/fever sequences. If you liked Fifth Wave, I'd recommend continuing, but I can't guarantee you'll like this book as much.
