The Darkest Minds

I don't know what to say about this story. I'm torn between giving it 3 stars or 4 stars. A lot of things just didn't work for me. One, being the slowness to the story. It bored me to death for the first half of the story, or the half before Ruby met up with Liam, Chubs, and Zu. If I didn't have the sequel already on my bookshelf, I probably wouldn't have finished it, but I'm kind of glad I did.

Although much didn't happen in much of the book, there was a part of me to want to see why everyone was raving about the ending. And, when I finally got to it, I'm not gonna lie, I was a little shocked. I didn't find it emotional or anything, but I was like :O for a while.

And I'm glad that there's a sequel too, because I want to know if Chubs is okay (he was my favorite character). Speaking of characters, Ruby annoyed the hell out of me. I was confused as to why she didn't use her powers in certain situations when she got to East River and certain things happened and I was all, “Ruby? Why you no use powers?!” She was just ugh, and I did not enjoy her one bit. Chubs all the way!

There's so much I need to know after that ending though. Ah!
