ALEXANDRA, AFTER THIS BOOK WE ARE NO LONGER ON SPEAKING TERMS (At least until I finish In The After)
**SPOILERS**
I loved Jude so much. He was the best addition to the team. In no way could he replace Zu, but it was nice to have a younger kid to have around. He was so cute. AND THEN ALEXANDRA KILLED ME BY KILLING HIM. I WAS SPOILED AND KNEW IT WAS COMING, BUT WAS STILL NOT AT ALL PREPARED. I AM SO UPSET.
My Liam & Ruby shipping heart was crying this book. The whole block of scenes in the gas/auto station, killed me. I was so happy that he remembered, but what he said, and felt, and what Ruby said and felt, and just everything...AH. IT HURT. I love these two too much.
I just...have so many feelings of the book. I loved it so much more than The Darkest Minds. Definitely my favorite so far.

No tengo palabras para decir lo mucho que me gustó este libro, mucho más que el primero. El primero pecó de una extensa introducción del personaje de Ruby y no terminamos de conocerla hasta que escapa de Thurmond, y eso ya es hasta un cuarto después del libro (y lo que, en verdad, llegaba a cansar hasta que la acción comenzó como debía). Aquí ya teníamos claro quien era Ruby, quienes habían sido sus amigos y lo que había vivido.
La introducción de Vida, Jude y Nico quedaba bien con la situación de Ruby: repentina, todo de golpe y debíamos de acostumbrarnos ya. Y sin embargo fluyó armoniosamente, podíamos enamorarnos de la inocencia de Jude, encantarnos con lo rudo de Vida y por fin conocer lo que hacían los Verdes, que era algo que no terminó claro en el primer libro: Son Verdes, tienen una increíble mente pero... ¿pero qué hacen? Era lo que no terminábamos de entender y esto ya lo vimos.
La búsqueda de Liam se sintió tediosa tal y como debió serlo para sus integrantes, lo cual estuvo bien. Ruby como personaje variaba, viéndose fuerte y sin emociones un momento pero entonces le tocaban la venita débil y ya volvíamos ver a la misma Ruby insegura de lo que hacía del primer libro, pero sabiendo dejar esos miedos de lado porque ahora era Líder, ahora ocupaba el lugar de Liam y no podía dejar que la vieran decaer.
Y no sé porque diablos no puedo terminar un libro bien. Siempre tengo que terminar llorando y en eso culpo a la autora. De ser menos objetiva le habría puesto dos estrellas menos por todo el sufrimiento que tienen mis bebés a lo largo del libro. No es justo.
Una joya, lo sigo diciendo. La saga es una joya.

for some reason, 2nd books always separate the love interest, which also separates my interest. i found the first 2/3rds of this one to be kinda boring, just something to get through to get to the better parts. i feel like Ruby's choice to send away Liam did too much to separate them as people because he is no longer in the same place mentally as she is, which he would have been had they stayed together. it also seems odd to me that he is still wanting to go off with Charles (I'm not calling him Chubs) instead of being behind the idea of doing whatever they could to liberate the camps. so while still good, i didn't much like this one and i hope things start going better in book 3.
also...how could Liam not know where his parents were if he wrote a note to Zu telling her their fake names and address back in book 1? altho i suppose the book never specifically said that looking for his parents is what Liam was doing for the past 6 months...that might have just been Ruby's assumption.

Woah.. so much better than the first! I could not put it down. I am left both heartbroken and hopeful. Can’t wait to start number three!
I liked this one SO much better than the first book! It was easier to follow and the action was AMAZING.

Okay this series has gotten SO GOOD 🥰 I am obsessed with these characters.
My heart was broken at the end of book one. Finding out that Chubs was alive was a win. I kinda love how much of a badass Ruby became. I am curious about her parents though considering Liam could remember his feelings for her. I wonder if her parents regained their memory of her and that’s why they left her name on their voicemail. Ruby being able to use her powers without touching some one was badass. I hate Clancy. Also the fact that he survived but Jude didn’t is HEARTBREAKING. Finding out Cole is a red is insane and that there is a cure. I’m so interested to see how all of this is going to play out in the last book.

Not one moment of peace in this book, so much anxiety and stress
