As much as I loved the story – this style of jumping into so many different character heads just killed it for me. In ‘ The Fifth Wave’ we get a big chunk of Cassie, and smaller parts from Evan, Ben and Sam, This second book was proportionally different and even introduced more characters voices. ‘ The Infinite Sea’ felt more like a collection of novellas in the same universe than and actual book. So many points of view, picking up different parts of the story. What did bother me – and in a major way – was the jumping around with the narrative. Some of his descriptions, dialogue and snippets of expression were truly brilliant. Either Yancey’s writing style is better in this book, or I noticed it more.
I did not guess many of the plot twists either, so that’s a wonderful thing. But at least, for the middle book in a trilogy it didn’t feel like it was treading water. In hindsight I can understand why they did, but I also loved the story. I took a long time to build up to reading ‘ The Infinite Sea’ after many of my friends gave this a less than stellar review. 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.Ĭassie 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. Now Cassie Sullivan finds herself in a new world, a world in which the fundamental trust that binds us together is gone. Surviving the first four waves was nearly impossible. How do you rid the Earth of seven billion humans? Rid the humans of their humanity. This sci-fi dystopian adventure is slowly roping me in.
