Sofa Spotlight - In the Afterlight, Alexandra Bracken

This is the third book in The Darkest Minds set of four books, but it rounds off the story covered in the previous two books. It was a great finale for a great series and there were some unexpected twists and turns, not to mention a couple of sad moments.

Without wanting to give too much away – this is a series you should read from the beginning and soon, the ending rounded things off nicely but at the same time I felt there were a few loose ends that needed to be expanded on. But maybe that’s where book four comes in. Because how can the world, or in this case, America go back to the way it was after something as devastating as that!

I’ve loved reading this series, it’s been a rollercoaster with character development happening at a reasonable and believable pace. Not everyone is as much of a jerk as they seem at first. And there is some great story telling around the impact having these abilities has on the characters and whether or not they would want to live without them now that they’ve got them.
