In Time by Alexandra Bracken

5.0

WHAT THE HECK JUST HAPPENED? Someone please tell me how Alexandra Bracken managed to get me so attached to a character I just met, and the proceed to KILL THEM FROM THE FIRST PERSON?

Obviously, this is a novella. But this is no ordinary novella. This particular one punched me in the face (with a fist full of feelings, of course) even though I've read the original series and KNEW what was going to happen.

It follows Gabe, an adult looking to be hired as a skip tracer, as he searches for kids to bring to the authorities. All of a sudden he stumbles upon Zu, the beloved Yellow from the first book in the series.

I loved Gabe! I loved that he tried so hard not to be such a softie, but that didn't really work out for him. I tend to fall in love with all Bracken's characters, though...

Unfortunately, I'm afraid I can't give too much away about this story, but I do recommend reading the original series, which begins with [b:The Darkest Minds|10576365|The Darkest Minds (The Darkest Minds, #1)|Alexandra Bracken|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1343178841s/10576365.jpg|15483434]. I promise you will not be disappointed with Bracken's writing; it is one of my favorite things to fangirl about. If you decide to take on this amazing adventure, good luck. The journey is hard, but the view is so worth it in the end.
