“If you’re smart, you care. And if you care, you love.”
What can I say... in general, I think that this part was better than the first, I know for sure.
We know the subsequent history of Lena in the Wilds, and later, as a fighter in the resistance movement. I don’t know if I liked the structure of the book, that is, the interleaving of events 'now' (resistance movement) and 'then' (the Wilds). Usually when I know what's going to happen later (eg. who will survive the winter in the Wilds), not especially interested me the beginning and so it was in this case, the chapters 'then' I jumped quite reluctantly. Didn’t move me too much of their worries, I didn’t cry over the death of the person to whom wasn’t too much on the pages of the book, supplemented only the story of the new characters and made the transformation of Lena was more reliable. I would prefer to know first, what was 'then', and later the rest.
And all the rest of the story was ok. Certainly better love story than in the first part. Was also more normal (not love) action, more of the world presented, everything tends to war, there are also other groups of Invalids, it turns out that a really big part of the population doesn’t consider love as a disease, and the remedy for the cure. In addition, a great figure of Julian, I liked this boy and I'm curious to see how this thread will develop In the next part.
Regarding the end of the book - kind of surprising, but I think everyone will admit, that that's what he expected, it had to be complicated in this way, otherwise it would be too sweet.
For now, this part I give eight stars, rather reluctantly, but let it be, since the first rating for seven. I think the worst thing that can be, after reading the book, it's not 100% know what to think about it. I know for sure that I immediately begin to read the next part, because I have to see how the author develops a theme from the end.
