Genre: Young Adult, Dystopian, Science Fiction

Year Published: 2013

"Author Dan Wells is back with the sequel to the sci-fi blockbuster Partials, which Pittacus Lore called a "thrilling sci-fi adrenaline rush, with one of the most compelling and frightening visions of Earth's future I've seen yet."

After discovering the cure for RM, Kira Walker sets of on a terrifying journey into the ruins of postapocalyptic America and the darkest desires of her heart in order to uncover the mean- and a reason- for humanity's survival.

Dan Wells extends his richly imagined, gritty world and introduces new memorable characters in this second installment in the Partials Sequence."

My Rating: 4/5

I'm not sure that this installment aged well. There were a few things in this one that I think could have been done differently or I could have completely gone without. I liked the changing perspectives and the plot, but some of the characterisation was not in line with 2024. I also found that adding the need for romance, took away from the overarching plot. I will be continuing the series though, as they are so addicting and fascinating. Hard to put down such a unique dystopian!

Thanks for reading,

Sidny
