Never Fade
by Alexandra Bracken
Read my full review here.
Oh my god was this book ever good. That's the thought that kept running through my head while I was reading Never Fade.
The writing sets the scene, the tone, and the pace perfectly. Bracken pays great attention to detail, and that makes for an intense and complex novel. There are more action scenes, and they’re so intense that I was glued to the pages. The tone of this book is a lot darker than that of The Darkest Minds. The stakes are higher, times are more dangerous than ever, and the characters are more broken than before.
Ruby has certainly become stronger since joining the Children’s League, but her guilt and self-hatred is hurting her. She kind of regrets what she did, and she’s faced at every turn with the consequences. She makes bad choices, but she does so in the hopes of saving those she loves, and every child who has been wronged by the government. I hope she finds her happy ending in the next book.
Liam and Chubs are sweet, sad characters and I adore them. Chubs is scared and reckless, but he loves his friends so much. I also missed his wit. Liam is not the same person he was in the last book. He’s more hard, but he is still protective and caring, and he still hates the League. He’s lost a lot of his memories, but there’s hope he can get them back.
Two new characters in the book I came to adore. The first is Vida; she puts on a tough girl act, but aside from her swearing, she’s just as caring and protective as the other characters. At first I didn’t like her, but she grew on me. Jude is a sweetie, and I like him.
Never Fade is a great sequel. The characters and plot are constructed so well, and I didn’t want to put the book down. This book series is one of my favourites, and I can’t wait to read the rest of the series.
