HOLY F*CK, this book is disturbing yet it was a good read; a must-read classic!

I thought I wouldn't connect to any of the characters, but I was wrong! Ralph was a born-to-be leader, brave chief that only had one goal in mind shared with Piggy: to be rescued from the island. I wish we got to know more about Simon because man hE IS PRECIOUS. RIP to Simon and Piggy. They didn't deserve to die at all. I'm not even going to talk about Jack. No.

“Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of man's heart, and the fall through the air of the true, wise friend called Piggy.”

To be honest, the beginning was a bit boring, and there were times where the dialogue gets confusing. Other than those, the story was well-written!

As much as I HATED THAT THE AUTHOR DECIDED TO KILL MATTHIAS (I shipped him and Nina so hard. And he was still young. IT WAS UNFAIR. I think the death was unnecessary since HE HAS SUFFERED ENOUGH IN HELLGATE), I enjoyed this book. Even more so than the first book. It was also well-written just like the first one. The plot was gripping (especially the ending!); it was filled with action and great dialogues throughout the story. Some of my favorite parts were Wylan's chapters; his What am I doing here? lines, that genius plan of theirs, and that scene where Jesper accidentally kissed Kuwei. I was laughing so hard. Let's not forget when Jeslan actually kissed (marry each other already you two.)

You wouldn't regret reading the series; I would reread it sometime. Looking forward to the third book; I miss the characters already.
