The second book was just as good as the first one. Actually it was better. Lauren Oliver did a great job making this story different than the first one. Lena has grown and changed. The challenges she face and overcome are far different than that of #1. which is great. Unfortunately I couldn't read this book as quickly as I did #1 because I got really busy and I couldn't sneak read at work. But I wanted to. Its like every chapter ended in some jaw dropping way. It was more fast paced that #1 and had more action. Lena repeatedly said "The wilds harden you." But Lena didn't let the Wilds take away everything. She didn't lose sight of why she was there in the first place. She's learned hot to fight and use a knife.
I warn you, it ends with a cliffhanger. I didn't find it at all shocking because most YA books have this pattern. I don't want to ruin the surprise. And even though I didn't find it particularly shocking, I cannot wait to read #3 and see how it all ends. This is a reason I try to wait until a series is completed to read the whole thing straight through. The waiting is torturous. So I am more than happy to go finish this series.
