by Rick Yancey
PRMS paperback 300 pages
genre: YA dystopian fiction
"The second book of The 5th Wave" picks up with the child soldiers and Cassie holed up in a ratty hotel, getting colder and hungrier with each day. There's no sign of Evan and Ben is still healing from injuries, so Ringer heads off to see if they can shelter in "the Caverns" nearby. Sadly, Teacup follows her . . . the suffering, doubt, and killing are slightly less intense in this book, but this dystopian future is pretty depressing.
We gain a new character in Grace, who is "enhanced" like Evan. We also get to know "Razor," another kid soldier. This story bounces around to different perspectives - Ringer, Cassie, Ben, and even Poundcake. I will have to read book three to see how it all ends. Things look pretty bleak for humanity, though.
