4.0

I raced through the first 3 books in this series a few years back. Then it took me a while to get around to #4 and I really didn’t like that one much. It was incredibly dark, the plague reference was maybe a bit close to home at the time, and at the end I needed to breathe. So coming back to #5 I was a bit hesitant. The main characters jumped off the page within moments and the world of the FAYZ was back, in all its horror. Much of the origin of the dome is dealt with, how it connects to the main characters and their powers. As a result it feels a much more rounded book. I also liked the glimpses of life outside and they add a new perspective that I appreciated. Right now, I’m needing a little breather from the series but will be back for #6 soon. A solid return to form for this very graphic series.
