by Alexandra Bracken

Don't miss the final novel in the New York Times bestselling Darkest Minds series from the author of Lore

It's five years since the destruction of the rehabilitation camps that imprisoned Zu and her friends ... but the battle is far from over.

Seventeen-year-old Suzume 'Zu' Kimura has assumed the role of spokesperson for the interim government, fighting for the rights of the kids once persecuted for their powers. But though they are no longer imprisoned, the Psi still face huge prejudice, and a growing tide of misinformation.

When Zu is accused of committing a horrifying act, she is forced to go on the run in order to stay alive. Determined to clear her name, Zu travels in search of safety and answers, but soon uncovers a dark truth that threatens the future of all Psi. With enemies everywhere, who can she trust to help her fight back and save the friends who were once her protectors?

"Read" is relative in this instance. Once I realized it's about Zu and it's 5 years in the future from the trilogy, I realized I didn't need to read it. I'd only revisited the other books to finish the series. And this wasn't a necessary part of that completion.

And since I'm not a fan of Bracken's writing style (not a criticism, just a preference) I didn't want to dive into another of her books. I skipped 3/4 of the way through to when Ruby and Liam showed up, skimmed through the rest of the book to see their interactions, got to the end and I was done.

If there's a 5th book in the series I'll be perfectly fine not picking it up.
