The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey
4.0
So I quite literally just finished this book and in all honestly I'm left in extreme wanting. The biggest reason for my four star rating has to do with the section of the book, "The Black Hole."
The characters in this book seemed almost too over prepared for someone in their age group facing the end of the world. The constant POV changes were slightly confusing at times because I wasn't always sure who's part of the story I was reading until some very obvious hints gave it away. I throughly enjoyed Cassie, out of all the characters she really seemed to have the best grasp of what was going on. While I'm glad that Ben was reshaped, I slightly wished he didn't resurface. His presence doesn't really seem to make sense other than the fact that he's a love interest for Cassie and possibly Ringer. Why we were told the story from the POV of a five year old child seems odd to me, an extremely advanced five year to be exact. I would have spent more time with any of the other characters if I had the choice, I don't know like Evan. The short section that was dedicated to him was not enough at all.
Overall it was a great read and I will defiantly be picking up "The Infinite Sea" so I can find out where things go next. You will definitely have that review to look forward to.
