“They had machines to do their work for them: solve problems, cipher numbers, and print writing. People grew lazy. They knew too many blessings and so they lost the ability to appreciate what they had. They always wanted more, more, more and that road…led down into darkness" -Edmund
AND ALL THE AWARDS!!!…This book just hit me right in the feels over and over again. At one point Saturday after reading one part, i was doing my hair and i had to just stop and take a seat because my heart was literally shattering as i was standing in front of the mirror.
First of all…THERE’S A GUY NAMED JENSEN IN THIS BOOK!! …. and as the universe would have it. he was an alcoholic *rolls eyes*
Anyway the books starts off where the last one left off. Deuce, Fade, Stalker and Tegan are in a new place..” safe” place and they’re “adjusting” to life in their own ways. This one was less intense than the last one but that’s kind of a given considering the fact that they aren’t in the tunnels fighting for their lives every second of every day….HOWEVER! i will say that this one is DEFINITELY more unsettling. i mean the shit that is going on. WHAT THE FUCK! — i don’t want to give anything away, but i will say. THEY’RE FUCKING SCREWED! (when the next book comes out of course)
I remember when i was reading a certain part in this book…i forget which exactly, but i thought “omg this reminds me so much of Twilight!” lmfao! now don’t get all cray cray its NOTHING like Twilight. It’s just the way the boys are so protective of Deuce reminded me of how Edward and Jake were protective of Bella. Don’t get it twisted though. Deuce can handle herself AND kick BOTH the boys’ ass. tuh!
ONE thing i don’t like about these books and we can just make this a GENERAL thing that i don’t like that applies to all books, it’s just THIS book is the one that made me realize it….i don’t like when the Chapters in books are named. The chapters in these books all have one word names … titles to the chapters. But i don’t like it because from the names you can kind of tell or speculate what might happen and that’s just so UGH! Like one Chapter was named Disaster. and just…as soon as i saw that i tensed up and i was just like, ‘omg i know shit is going to hit the fan’ but i don’t like that…idk i guess i just want to get to the next chapter and let it happen, i don’t want to be EXPECTING something to happen or FEARING what’s going to happen….
It’s interesting seeing how the people act in Salvation (that’s the name of the place they’re in) it’s a dim reflection of what we are right now. even though they don’t have modern technology and they’re living in a post apocalyptic world…their actions are so HUMAN. they have a hierarchy, and they have rules and gossip, and rapists, and drunks and bitches and hoes. lol its…idk just crazy to see that even when put in a dire situation such as theirs human, nature still prevails and people are still….evil….
The next book doesn’t come out until this time next year…so I’ll sit here and die waiting for it to come out =(

This one is definitely a bit slower than the first book, which is fine by me. It definitely allows for more depth and growth of our main cast- especially in a new environment. Also, I’m so glad this is a finished series. That cliffhanger would be devastating if I had to wait for it.

Will review as soon as I get my emotions in check. SO MANY FEELS.
Updated [14/10/12]:
So Outpost tells us about Deuce and her new life in Salvation. She is not fitting in so well with the town, mainly because she doesn't know how to be a proper girl. I see Salvation as some town in the 60's where men do all the work and women are expected to stay at home, be all prim and proper, and raise the children. Deuce is experiencing a culture shock of a sort.
Things I Like
The characters. I saw in reviews that some think Deuce is not a likeable character, and that she whines a lot in Outpost. But I don't know, I like her a lot. I understand how she feels torn between adapting to life in town and become a girl, and staying true to her Huntress roots. Salvation is not at all like the place she grew up and became accustomed with. It takes time to adapt, and because she was born to fight, she finds it hard to give up her Huntress life. I think she does want to fit in at some point, but she doesn't know how, Salvation ways are alien to her, and what with the womenfolk alienating her some more is not helping.
Fade. Hello hotness! I like reading books with strong heroes. At the end of Outpost, he kind of reminds me of Peeta Mellark in Mockingjay, with PTSD and stuff.
Freaks. I think it's brilliant how Ann Aguirre developed the Freak situation. I was truly horrified when I came to the plot twist. Meep. I also enjoy reading the Freak vs Salvation war, and how Deuce plays an important role in it.
Things I Don't Like
Love triangle. I don't really fancy love triangles, at all. So I wasn't quite keen on the Deuce-Fade-Stalker thing going on in the book, though I really am grateful that Deuce is clear on what (and who) she wants, kind of like how Bella only wants Edward Cullen (sorry this just came up in my head). I like Stalker, but not really as a love interest for Deuce.
Overall, yep I will pick up the next book. Horde comes out in Sept 2013! More waiting :/
