Undivided by Neal Shusterman

Undivided (Unwind, #4) The fourth and final book in the Unwind dystology, so they will probably be spoilers. Rating: 4 Stars                                                                                                           Which kind of ruined this book for me was I was never really sure this was the finale book until about the last chapter. This just left me in a state of panic and confusion and anxiety if there was enough time to wrap everything up. I don't have that intense feeling about this book, there wasn't any lasting huge effects. Nothing that made me want to cry, after the book (although there were moments during the book). I only had one big problem with Undivided, which was there was so much focus on Starkey, who I do not care about at all, I dont even hate him enough to care about him, I'm just tired of him. There was so much focus on him, which left not much room for who I care about, Connor, Risa, and Lev. There also wasn't a conclusion for Bambi, who I actually liked, which, now that I think about it, makes me angry. 


       Overall, I think this series was a little too stretched out, but really good overall. The first, two, i think are amazing and if you haven't checked them out already, you really should.

The Infinite Sea by Rick Yancey

Rating- 3.5 Stars
This is a sequel, book 2 to the 5th wave series, and will probably have spoilers for both books.

The Infinite Sea (The Fifth Wave #2)
     I really, reallly, really enjoyed The Fifth Wave, the start of this series, but this one was kind of... boring. It had an amazing prologue but after that it took me a long time to get into it, then it would change books (chapters kinda) and it would take me forever to get into it again. I didn't (still don't really) remember any of the gang other than the main people, which left me very confused. It took me forever to read it and left me really confused. I'm not sure who's dead, who's where, who's almost dead, did we really find anything out in the book?? I felt like there was a aha! moment in this that I didn't pick up on.

Even though the story didn't do it for me, the writing, like it was in the last time was beautiful. All of his characters, especially the new one(s) are amazing (are they dead????). I think it was the characters who kept me reading (Even if I don't remember half of them, I still have ghost memories of caring for them).

I don't think i'm in the right place to tell you if you read it or not, I think i just read this in a really busy time and I didn't obtain the information in should have.(Is he dead??) I know however I will read the next one(s?) and hopefully reread both The Fifth Wave and this one by the time it comes out. (We all know that isn't going to happen)
