The Darkest Minds #3
Summary: "Ruby can't look back. Fractured by an unbearable loss, she and the kids who survived the government's attack on Los Angeles travel north to regroup. With them is a prisoner: Clancy Gray, son of the president, and one of the few people Ruby has encountered with abilities like hers. Only Ruby has any power over him, and just one slip could lead to Clancy wreaking havoc on their minds.
They are armed only with a volatile secret: proof of a government conspiracy to cover up the real cause of IAAN, the disease that has killed most of America's children and left Ruby and others like her with powers the government will kill to keep contained. But internal strife may destroy their only chance to free the "rehabilitation camps" housing thousands of other Psi kids.
Meanwhile, reunited with Liam, the boy she would-and did-sacrifice everything for to keep alive, Ruby must face the painful repercussions of having tampered with his memories of her. She turns to Cole, his older brother, to provide the intense training she knows she will need to take down Gray and the government. But Cole has demons of his own, and one fatal mistake may be the spark that sets the world on fire." --From Goodreads
My Thoughts:
Let's just start with the characters. Ruby. How I love Ruby. She is not the scared sixteen year old girl we met in the first book. She has matured; mentally and physically. Her powers have grown and she is still scared about doing the "best" thing with them. She could pretty much do whatever she wants, but no.
Liam and Cole,the lovely Stewart brothers. They gave me what I needed. Cole was the strong-willed, cocky, independent one. Liam was level-headed, charming, and caring one. They were perfectly imperfect characters.
Chubs, Vida, Zu, Clancy, and the rest of them. They added so much to the plot of this novel. While the focus wasn't on them for most of the novel, they were an integral part of the story.
I'm sorry to see these characters leave, but I'm glad how it ended. It gave closure to the reader.
Disclosure: I purchased a copy of this book.
