Synopsis

The riveting follow-up to the New York Times bestselling The 5th Wave, hailed by Justin Cronin as “wildly entertaining.”
 
How do you rid the Earth of 7 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.

*zero spoilers for the first book* Good morning, The Infinite Sea. I'm afraid I have some bad news. You're suffering from a bad case of Second Book Syndrome. It's a common affliction in the YA middle child. Symptoms include dragging narrative, long periods of character inertia, lack of substantial plo......more

Goodreads review by Danielle on July 24, 2020

It took me a hot minute to jump back into this world again. I’ve read just a few books 😉 since finishing the first one.

Why I DNF'd this book: I am so sad that this book was such a disappointment. I loved The Fifth Wave so much. I mean, 5-star-loved it! From beginning to end, that book had me captivated. So, you can imagine my disappointment when I finally decided . . . I'm not finishing this book. Excessive, redundant,......more
