Review: The Infinite Sea by Rick Yancey
Publisher/ date: Putnam Juvenile/ September 16th, 2014
Word rating: Much more action-y.
How do you rid the Earth of seven billion humans? Rid the humans of their humanity.
Surviving the first four waves was nearly impossible. Now Cassie Sullivan finds herself in a new world, a world in which the fundamental trust that binds us together is gone. As the 5th Wave rolls across the landscape, Cassie, Ben, and Ringer are forced to confront the Others’ ultimate goal: the extermination of the human race.
Cassie and her friends haven’t seen the depths to which the Others will sink, nor have the Others seen the heights to which humanity will rise, in the ultimate battle between life and death, hope and despair, love and hate.
This book was a crazy ride in the best of ways. This is one of those books where I think that saying even a bit too much might be spoilery, so this is a shorter review.
We're plopped right into the middle of the events after The 5th Wave, and from the get-go, The Infinite Sea is much more action-based and for the lack of a better word, noisier, than it's predecessor. While the first book's success, I think, lied in the uncanny build-up and explosion of events, in The Infinite Sea there's something happening or about to happen all of the time.
