In the Afterlight A Darkest Minds Novel Alexandra Bracken Books

I discovered the series by seeing advertisements for the movie that has recently came out in which I have not watched, and judging by the trailer the movie will have a completely different story and character powers then the book series.

A little honey before the vinegar. When I give a 3-star rating it usually means that I will reread the story at some point that I did enjoy it to a degree but did not quite fall in love with it, or was not fully pulled into the story. The ending of this book did pull me in. Alexandra Bracken was able to create characters that I felt for and emphasized with. She did throughout the series create characters that we're unique and memorable to some points. An awesome aspect I was not expecting was that there is no love triangle throughout the series to create a false tension in the romance plot. It does have the feel of a typical romance in the genre it is not boring nor is it predictable. I do enjoy a novel and would be interested in seeing what this author could do in other genres.

The vinegar. The series as a whole requires the the suspension of disbelief in many portions of the story. Whether it is the constant ability to find gas in the cars that have been abandoned for years, or being able to find abandoned convenience stores with chips and snacks still available, or the ability to find lost friends by simply looking in a state the reader does have to force themselves not to look behind the curtain for the author's hand. The United States is a country of 350 million people even if you kill 98% of the children 14 & below you're not going to find half the country abandoned. It seems that people only show up when the author needs them too.

The most glaring aspect of the series is how the vast majority of adults shown, even those that are supposed to be allies to our young protagonist, are pretty much horrible people who hate the gifted survivors. Part of the background is that the entire country broke down to the point that the president basically becomes a dictator set on hiding kids away in internment camps while experimenting and murdering them. He also drafts majority of adults between the ages of 20 and 40 into serving as the equivalent of Nazi camp officers.

My final thoughts. I do enjoy ya novels across the many genres they show up in. Many of the dystopian series I've read could start out with a what if question. For example for this one it is what if something kills the majority of the population of children while giving the survivors superpowers. That is a great premise for a start of a story and I do feel that the series started with a good premise but the execution was a bit off for my taste. There's too much happenstance in favor of the protagonist.

It's hard to gauge where this book should go in age groups. The amount of suspension of disbelief the author asked of the reader would seem to indicate a younger audience say around 12 to 14 however the language and events that occur are more appropriate for older teenagers and above.

In the Afterlight A Darkest Minds Novel Alexandra Bracken Books Reviews


Rating 5 Stars

Many were killed. Ruby lose someone close to her and looking back could break her. The ones who survived the LA bombing move north to regroup with their prisoner, a fellow Orange like Ruby who is basically a twisted evil genius. They are set back but they are determined to regroup and continue to free other Psi kids from the “rehabilitation camps” and bring an end to the corrupt government that has hunted them and covered up the cause of IAAN. Despite her attempts to save him by erasing herself from his memories Liam is back and a small bright spot in the sea of bleakness. Still the repercussions of her choice and everything that has transpired since has left everyone with demons as we reach the conclusion to this journey and see what will happen and who will survive.

So I read the first two books back in January 2016. I enjoyed them and meant to continue on but for whatever reason I took a break before finishing it and it just kept getting pushed back. So with the movie and new sequel coming out I was determined to finish it and be caught up again. With two years between I was a bit nervous that I would have forgotten things but I was able to dive right back in. A couple of the names (non-core) were a bit rusty but it was very easy to fall back into this world and remember what was happening. That says a lot about the writing.

“Everyone needs reality to punch them in the face every once in a while. Keeps you on guard.”

The pacing for this book did seem a bit faster than the others. We are left a bit broken and defeated but not ready to give up. They need to regroup and figure out the best way to finish this once and for all. Saving kids from the camps and getting the government exposed for the liars they are seems to be the main focus as it should be. No one is fighting for themselves anymore they are fighting for a better world for all children which I love. There is a lot happening with the powers and process. Everyone has a different theory of what method to use and which would best serve the needs of the group. This can divide people and it's true you can all want the same goal but have different ways of going about it. I liked seeing that as it seemed very true to the world they Bracken has built.

Ruby and Liam. I was devastated when she took his memories in the first book. To have all their sweetness erased and for him to look at her and not know her was hard in book two but in a way some parts of this were harder. Everyone has been through so much and being in Ruby’s POV I could see all of her pain both for the losses she has suffered and the consequences of her actions. She is an Orange and while some trust and respect her there will always be the knowledge that she can get in anyones head. There are parts that have you down but also some very amazing parts that just bring you back up and fill your heart.

Overall as a series my only downside is that I wish I had read all together and not taken so long in between but that is on me. Bracken did an amazing job in each of the following books making sure she reminded the reader who everyone was and what happened last without being over the top about it. I cared for these kids and their fight. It was such a complex story full of challenging and important issues and I think that for the most part the majority of it was handled though there are still some open questions given the ending but I am hoping with the next book and the time jump we will see more of what became of everyone and the world as a whole. While this was a story about kids with powers the whole world as a whole suffered in devastating ways during this time and a fact that is never lost.
I wanted to love this book. I liked the first enough to buy more, but I wished I hadn't. I'm not into all the teen love and reading about how this person is their everything then feel hurt when they turn away and then.... It continues. There was so much that was hard to swallow and I know one always has to suspend belief...but this was not an enjoyable read. I read it and wanted to see how it ended, and couldn't skip too much because I didn't want to miss things in between, but I'd rather have not started the series in the fist place.
