This is personally, my least favorite out of the main series, but definitely worth while. I heard if you watch the movies before you read the books it’s more challenging to get through. I didn’t watch the movies before the books, and I absolutely loved it! Would recommend.

There is gore. If you don’t like to read those kind of topics I’d not recommend.

Easily the best book in the series and a big step up from the first book. The world grows much bigger and the mystery of why the world is the way it is makes for an intriguing and tense story. The big twist at the end was weird and still is weird to me to this day but I would not say it was bad.

The plot thickens, there’s are so many questions and some get answered but it’s still very mysterious. I am invested in the characters now and I really hope

Thomas and Teresa sort stuff out

Interesting, but didn't hold my attention like the first. In many places the writing could be enhanced by some fresh adjectives and verbs

I really enjoyed reading this book, I actually preferred it to the first book in the series. The plot was super interesting and unpredictable, so I got invested easily.
