The Departure by K.A. Applegate

5.0

Honestly, this is my favourite of the series so far. Cassie is usually the most calm and balanced of the group. But she's also the most empathetic, so all the violence takes the most toll on her. I just love her endless compassion to all the living things. And that she tries to be moral, even in impossible situations.
I love the stories where the enemies are stuck together and are forced to learn abut and understand each other, and come to terms with the idea that not all your enemies are pure evil that have to be destroyed. This was great. I hope that Yeerek shows up again. Or Karen. I wonder what will her life be like after all she's seen and lived through.
