The Final Six by Alexandra Monir
3.0
*3.5/5*
The Final Six is a dystopian sci-fi ya story.
The world is being ravaged by storms, and tptb are trying to find a way to leave Earth. a mission to Mars failed, so they have turned their sights to Jupiter, specifically it's moon Europa. And instead of using astronauts, they are going through the world's teenagers to find the most promising. 24 are brought in, and go through training to whittle the list down to six. those six will be sent to Europa to settle it.
we follow the perspectives of Naomi and Leo.. they each have special qualities.
I enjoyed it, but I hated the insta-love/romance. it was fast paced, and I liked the mystery, but using teens is a little too farfetched for me to suspend my disbelief.. especially because its only 6 teens and 2 AI making the trip.. I just.. how could that even remotely be a good idea. how is there still that much technology with how much water is covering the Earth now.
And the ending felt too rushed.
but!!! I do want to read book 2, and I hate that I have to wait a year +. I was intrigued, and while I figured we wouldn't end up on Europa this book, I couldn't help but be sad and now I really want to know what will happen next.
