A pesar de que me ha gustado, se me ha hecho lenta en algunas partes. Muy bien con los capítulos cortos porque hace que el el libro sea más ligero.
Estuve a punto de darle menos calificación por culpa de tanto lío amoroso, que por la mañana te gusta uno, que a medio día ya andan del chongo y por la tarde ya estás con el otro, para rematar la noche con el mismo de la mañana por qué te acordaste que estabas molesta con el de turno. Todo eso estresa.
La nave está dando las últimas y muy pronto van a tener que evacuarla, aunque no hay suficientes cápsulas espaciales para todos, asi que hay todo un espectáculo que nos va narrando Glass que es la protagonista que se quedó para poder estar con Luke.
Mientras tanto en la tierra Clarke sufre porque ya se están agotando las medicinas y Wells sigue ejerciendi de minicanciller para poner un poco de orden entre los 100, Bellamy se ha vuelto un experto en cacería y por lo regular es el encargado de mantenerlos alimentados.
Descubren un montón de secretos y Wells puede haber descubierto que hay un asesino entre ellos aunque no le da la importancia que merece.

A great sequel full of twists and turns. The characters sometime rapidly change emotions, but they are teenagers in life and death situations, so it’s understandable some of the time. I flew through this book, and I’m looking forward to continuing the series!

I'm still not sure how I feel about this series. The books and the tv show are so different that they probably shouldn't even be compared, but since I watched the show first I'm still attached to the characters and events that are absent in the books. There are certainly some things that I like about the books, and they aren't bad by any means. I'll wait to read the third one before I say anything else. Regardless, I recommend both the books and the show.

This sequel to The 100 twists and turns, and keeps up the pace of intrigue and secrets. Following the same characters as the first book, Bellamy, Clarke and Wells face danger on Earth while, back in space, Glass and Luke have crucial decisions to make.
There are some moments where events are a little too convenient or just emotionally opaque (Luke at the end, for example) but this isn’t a series that deals in the deep and meaningful. It’s best to switch off your more critical faculties and just enjoy this as a gripping story.

Review Taken From The Pewter Wolf
It's day 21 for the 100 sent down to Earth. This day is important, for its when signs of radiation begin to make themselves present. But that isn't the 100's only problems. They thought they were the first humans to set foot on Earth for the first time in centuries.
They were wrong.
With fear of a new, unknown enemy, the 100 has to band together. Wells struggles to keep the 100 together and not turn on themselves. Bellamy is determined to save his sister who was snatched from this enemy. And when trying to help him, Clarke finds evidence that leads to a truth that the 100 aren't the first to be sent to Earth from space. And back on the space station, Glass is forced to make a decision between love and life.
Like I said in my review to The 100 (review here), if you are expecting the TV series (aired on the CW in the USA and on e4 in the UK), you are going to be very disappointed as, while the TV show is dark (with a stupidly high death count - which I adore! NO ONE IS SAFE ON THAT SHOW!), the book is very much romantic driven.
I had problems with this book. I think it's because I read Day 21 very quickly after reading The 100, which isn't something I normally do. But I found Day 21 a real struggle. There was one or two things I really wanted ti stop reading this book - Life's too short to read awful books. In the end, I decided to skip a chapter and skim read because I decided to read this with a bunch of bloggers on Twitter and I didn't want to let them down.
I can list the problems I have - Glass being on the space station and yet, being more worried about her love life than finding out information that might be useful to the reader. Clarke and Bellamy doing stuff without telling anyone what they're planning to do - THERE ARE MYSTERIOUS BAD GUYS KILLING AND YET, GO RUN INTO THE FOREST WITHOUT TELLING ANYONE! And you survive without any real consequences - ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!
I could go on. I could. But I won't as I don't want to rant and rave. This book series, I feel, could have been more sci-fi or more into human survive - as the TV show does. It could have huge twists that shock the reader. But it's more love-driven and the book felt predictable and that's a huge problem with me. This book has so much potential and yet... it falls flat. It's unbaked and, in the words of Mary Berry from The Great British Bake Off, has a bit of a soggy bottom.
I MIGHT continue reading the series, but I think I might have to leave it and continue watching the TV show. I am really getting into it. I think we need to start a drinking game with the amount of death! THIS IS WHY I NEED THE DVD WHEN IT COMES OUT!
