Never Fade

4.7

MUCH MUCH MUCH BETTER THAN THE FIRST BOOK!

God, why did it take me a year to get into the sequel?! For a book that's 500+ pages, I thought this would be a hefty read... but to my surprise, this book is just so damn compelling and engaging that reading this book would be a breeze.

This series is starting to have my heart and soul. It took me on such an emotional roller-coaster ride. I can't help but be an emotional wreck after finishing it. The story was so action-packed, full of revelations, and anything you'd ever want from a dystopian novel.

What I loved most about this book are the characters. They are seriously the best set of characters you'd ever meet. They have very strong character development and unique personalities. I love how Ruby is starting to toughen up a bit, and she's beginning to have more self-confidence compared to the first book. Simply put - our protagonists are very lovable, and the antagonists are just loathsome to some extent.

I can't recommend this book enough. I feel like this is one very underrated series that everyone needs to read and get into. Alexandra Bracken is just amazing and she's clearly done it again (and by that I meant she stomped my heart again). Now let me take a moment to collect myself as I prepare to read the last book in the series.
