The Darkest Minds Never Fade A Darkest Minds Novel Alexandra Bracken Books

This book was so much better the first one! we left off in The Darkest Minds as Ruby (rather rudely, I might add) wiped all traces of herself from Liam's memory, a move that I imagine left many of us distraught.
The Darkest Minds was full of action, and Never Fade has even more thrilling, suspenseful escapades and missions.
We are introduced to three new characters who are Children's League agents- Vida, an acerbic, honest and hilarious Blue, Nico, a small, fragile Green, and Jude, a sweet, naive bubbly Yellow.
Vida particularly was such a brilliant addition to Ruby's family, and every scene she was in had me cheering for her.
Kate, the CL agent who originally tried to recruit Ruby is also an intriguing and brave character who is further developed in this sequel.
RUBY undergoes tremendous character development through the novel-she is no longer the frightened girl ashamed of her Orange abilities. She is willing and ready to use them unflinchingly and brutally against anyone who threatens those she loves.
I'll address a couple worries I had before I began this book, just in case anyone else happens to be taking them into consideration before they purchase this title.
Mild spoilers ahead! Ill try to keep things as vague as possible though!

Clancy Gray DOES take an important role in the latter half of this book.
Ruby and Liam and Chubs DO meet again.
Suzume (Zu) is NOT present in this book at all, though she is mentioned.
The book DOES end in a bit of a cliffhanger.
There is NO love triangle in this book (in case you're thinking/cheering for Ruby and Clancy to be a thing) that grammar was atrocious sorry lol yikes

The reason I gave this book 4/5 vs. 5/5 is because I, for one, have a lot of questions about the state of the US and IAAN.
Is IAAN still an active disease? Or has the outbreak ended, and now the population of children is decimated, with only the Psi kids and young children who constantly are getting checkups left?
At the very end of the book, Clancy reveals something that he's done that I don't really understand his reasoning for at all, and I was left a bit flabbergasted.
A few plot twists occurred in this book that I struggled to comprehend the logic and reasoning for. I felt that insufficient background and explanation was provided for things like what Clancy did (sorry about being so confusing and vague-I don't wish to ruin the book for anyone)

The way that Ruby put a curtain over herself in all of Liam's memories was just so disrespectful and unacceptable, and I don't think her actions were sufficiently addressed and resolved with Liam.
ALSO- the romance isn't very active in this book. Ruby loves Liam still, and is thinking about him constantly, but there is so much action and intense scenes that there isn't much time to think about romance. Bracken makes this work just fine though.
If I sound like a supercritical person who didn't ready enjoy this book that couldn't be farther from the truth. I absolutely adored this book and I love the series. It is one of the best books I've read this month. READ THIS BOOK!
I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS TO FANS OF: the Shatter Me series by Tahareh Mafi, False Memory by Dank Kronos, Unwind by Someone Who's Name I Forgot, and The Young Elites by Marie Lucas.

The Darkest Minds Never Fade A Darkest Minds Novel Alexandra Bracken Books Reviews

My Review FIVE STARS
*Spoilers Ahead* The Darkest Minds series is everything that I would hope a Young Adult Dystopian novel would be. It truly captures that end-of-the-world vibe that a lot of Dystopians tend to gloss over and sometimes even glorify. In Never Fade you truly get to see the turmoil, the panic, and the absolute upheaval in these character’s lives.

And speaking of characters, Bracken truly outdid herself with the characters in this novel. The emotions that Ruby, Liam, and Chubs experience are believable and raw and really help you empathize with the situations they’re all facing.

There are also a couple of new characters that I ADORED, Vita and Jude. They are both such unique, dynamic characters. I could not get enough of them. They livened up every single scene they appeared in.

There is also a major character death in this book, and it’s handled just exactly right. It probably makes me some kind of masochist or something, but I LOVE it when an author can execute a major character death in a way that makes me really FEEL something, makes me cry, makes me actually mourn that character! That is something that has to be handled with extreme skill and delicacy, and I was truly FLOORED by how well-written this particular death scene was.

One thing that is so interesting to me is how different The Darkest Minds and the Passenger series feel. If I didn’t already know they were written by the same author, I truly don’t think I would have been able to tell, which shows how diverse a writer Bracken is.

I highly recommend this book for all readers who enjoy YA Dystopian novels. This will definitely be right up your alley.

Cover Rating FIVE STARS
I love, love, LOVE this cover. It is symbolic of one of the characters in this story that I absolutely fell in love with. It also continues the beautiful noir theme from The Darkest Minds with its broken barbed wire look. Just STUNNING.

Swoon Worthiness FIVE STARS
*Spoilers Ahead* If you’ve read any of my previous review, you know that I love me some romantic tension, and Bracken absolutely knocked it out of the park! The reunion between Ruby and Liam is EVERYTHING I hoped it would be. Liam’s so confused and so incredibly angry with Ruby, and justifiably so, yet they are still so beautifully, perfectly in love despite EVERYTHING. But their relationship is still so wonderfully complicated and has so much friction, and is just swoon-worthy times about 1,000! Perfection!

Mashup
This book is like Insurgent meets X-Men with its need to infiltrate enemy territory and the super-human abilities that these incredible kids have. Just so cool!
I wavered between a 3 and 4 star rating for this story. They are some excellent character developments and a couple twist that I was not expecting and kept the story a bit interesting. At the same time while the characters had a goal of retrieving some critical information how they went about doing it, and the happenstance that followed, disconnected me from the story. I actually took a couple days break before finishing off the last quarter. For a story that spans the country there was a bit too much perfection in how and when events took place. when the bad guy or good guys need to find somebody somehow they do even when the area they're looking inis the size of a state.

Amanda Bracken did get a 4-star rating from me here because of how well she developed made the characters. even characters that only appear for less than a part of a chapter have an intensity that makes them feel real and at times tragic. With the characters constantly on the move the settings were varied and vague at times but also carry and dystopian ambience. The plot is where the story trips on itself a bit and happenstance takes over to guide characters to the end.

If you like a story that is lengthy and filled with action a bit of heartache and romance with the characters never really getting a chance to rest this might be for you. It does get a bit dry at times but there is enough action to keep it interesting.
