Be prepared to put off sleep and other responsibilities as you dive into Yancey's Infinite Sea, a book so immersive you'll want to immediately re-read it the moment you're done.Print ( hardcover and paperback), e-book, audiobook If you think you have everything figured out, you're most definitely wrong, and that's a good thing. Just know that it has more of your favorite characters, lots of new heroes and villains (and those who are somehow in both camps), and even a powerful dose of breathtaking romance. Pardon the vague language, but there's so much in The Infinite Sea that should be experienced on the page and not through a review. We learn more about her past (including her actual name and what it takes to make her finally laugh) and root for her as she embarks on a mysterious journey that leads her, like Cassie in the first book, to love and new discoveries. In contrast to Cassie is Ringer, who's bumped up from supporting player to main character. Cassie's back but more confused than ever she has no idea how to deal with her traumatized brother (who blatantly prefers Ben) or her seemingly misguided but deep-seated faith that Evan Walker will be back - for her. This one raises the stakes, deepens characterizations, and adds in enough startling twists to keep readers desperate for more. Yancey brilliantly continues his sci-fi epic with an equally enthralling second story. These teens might be facing death on a daily basis, but they're still hormonal, impetuous, and emotional as they struggle with what it means to be human in utterly inhumane conditions. Yancey also ups the romance with more potential couples that lead to intense romance and even a love scene.
The occasional strong language is understandable given the extreme circumstances. Cassie and her motley crew of fellow survivors once again must fight to survive, and there are many scenes of nail-biting violence, mass and personal killings, and near-death experiences.
This "unputdownable" second installment answers some questions but poses others, and there are plenty of intense twists and turns for fans of the first volume. Parents need to know that The Infinite Sea is the much-anticipated sequel to Rick Yancey's best-selling sci-fi thriller The 5th Wave, which is so popular it's already set to be adapted for a film starring Chloe Moretz in 2016. The characters say "s-t," "a-hole," "f-k," "pussies," "dick," "bitch," and the like fairly often but not in every conversation.ĭid you know you can flag iffy content?
