Day 21: The 100 Book Two (The 100, #2)

by Kass Morgan

Now a major TV series on E4. In this pulse-pounding sequel to Kass Morgan's The 100, secrets are revealed, beliefs are challenged, and relationships are tested. And the hundred will struggle to survive the only way they can - together.

It's been 21 days since The 100 landed on Earth. They're the only humans to set foot on the planet in centuries... or so they thought. Facing an unknown enemy, Wells attempts to keep the group together. Clarke strikes out for Mount Weather, in search of other Colonists, while Bellamy is determined to rescue his sister, no matter the cost. And back on the ship, Glass faces an unthinkable choice between the love of her life and life itself.

My reaction? Meh. I mean it wasn't bad but given the hype over the series I just expected it to be better. It is very much a space opera in many ways and kind of predictable too. Sascha is probably one of the better parts of the stories and I'm interested to see where she goes. Even if her relationship with Wells was kind of obvious in happening. Also I want to punch Graham. I guess that is one good characterisation?

I did consider giving it 2 stars, but it is 2.5 or something. I will read the third one once it's out but I don't think I will ever end up buying the series. Not worth it.

A copy was provided through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I started this book as soon as I finished [b:The 100|17332969|The 100 (The Hundred, #1)|Kass Morgan|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1377012321s/17332969.jpg|24065011] and boy was I glad I did.

The worldbuilding in this book was better than the first, but I still have some questions to be answered. I guess the next book will take care of that... I was happy to explore more of Earth in this book.
This, as well as the first book, is a very fast paced read, and I finished it in less than 24 hours. Now that's something, coming from me.

The characters are growing on me. They all have stuff to deal with, but it never turns into a heavy book. It's a light read.
Anyway, the characters... We get to know more in this book, and I especially liked Sasha. She was badass! And just a really nice and cool character.
The Earthborn plays a bigger role in this book as well, which only adds to the story.

This book was definitely better than the first, but it still missed that extra something to get the fifth star.

I'm sorry to see that there's not yet scheduled more books in this series. I feel confindent though, that there'll be at least one more book in this series, because the story isn't really complete yet.
