In the Afterlight by Alexandra Bracken
5.0
This book. This series.
I am having such a difficult time putting my thoughts together. I have all these things to say, but I don't know how phrase them to give this trilogy the praise it deserves.
The story, the characters, Ruby's voice. This is the journey of hope, of seeing a better world even when you're in the darkest corners of it. This is about living life. Living the hell out of life, because it's the only one you've got.
If you've read the trilogy, you know what I'm talking about. I have never read a dystopian with such an impact like Alexandra Bracken's. If you haven't read it... do yourself a favor. You're going to laugh and you're going to cry. But if it's anything like the way I cried in these last couple of pages, it's going to feel amazing.
[The only (spoiler-y) comment I have for the book is that I wished I would have gotten a little bit of closure on Sam/Lucas. I know I'm asking for a lot, but after having so much connection to In Time, I wish there would have been more on whether Lucas resurfaced, if it was even possible for any of the Reds.]
I loved this trilogy. I LOVED IT I LOVED IT I LOVED IT the way Ruby loves Liam. (I also love Liam the way Ruby loves Liam, but that is beyond the point.)
Thank you, Alex!
