A review by singsthewren
Fever by Lauren DeStefano
4.0
I read the first book in this series a long time ago, when I was working at Chapters and books rained down from the sky like - well, like rain. It took me a few years to get around to reading the sequel, despite enjoying the first one. It was a little bit.. expected. Nothing too surprising. Good, but not great. So that's why I was so happy when the sequel blew me out of the water.
This entire book reads like - aptly - a fever dream. Everything is beautiful and scary and hazy and stumbling, and we careen forever at a breakneck pace as the world whispers and shivers around us. Characters are a bit of a blur, and the world is big and scary and wild, but we are so hooked we don't mind how lost we sometimes feel.
The world opens up a bit more in this book, as is often the trend with a YA series, and luckily does not let us down (unlike some sequels I can think of). I read the whole thing in a few days and rushed out immediately to buy the conclusion despite the pile of other books in my house. Definitely recommend.
