- Aliens, danger, human struggle and bonds between unlikely allies are all aspects I love about the Fifth Wave trilogy. Infinite Sea shares multiple perspectives from key characters and picks up shortly after the climatic ending of Fifth Wave. The world is terrifying at times and no one, I mean no one can be trusted. I love how it kept me on edge, and at times holding my breath.
- The gang has made base in a hotel infested with rats. *god help us* The plan is to wait for Evan, and Cassie refuses to lose faith. Ringer gives us our main pov, but we get those of Evan, Cassie and a new character. While folks weren’t happy about all the time spent with Ringer, I have to say the girl is kickass and I enjoyed this aspect.
- Infinite Sea, like its predecessor is strong on details. Yancey vividly paints this bleak dark world. The next wave is a horrific one and it is clear these aliens will stop at nothing. The developments concerning Evan was interesting and I loved that Yancey took time to further develop secondary characters. We get answers and learn their next move, but with those tidbits came a whole basket of questions. I for one cannot wait for the final novel expected to be released in 2015.
Decaffeinated Aspect:
- We jump right into the story and between the nicknames, changing pov’s and time between books it took me a little time to settle in.
- While I loved the multiple pov’s it often left me feeling pulled between the threads and occasionally stopping to double check whose narration it was.
- Could there be a triangle emerging? *GRRR*
- Despite intense scenes, and some answers there was very little movement in the book. It felt more like a fleshing out, setting the scene, bridge building novel.
