Rant Number 1: The Alien Invasion is Beyond Disappointing But now that I’ve finished, I’m just so pissed with the whole thing I have nothing nice to say and really just want to punch something, and in fact, I dislike The 5th Wave so much I’ve somehow written not one but three angry rants - yeah, be warned, this is going to be brutal(ly honest). Everything about The 5th Wave - an award winning male young adult author, a high octane alien invasion plot, the comparisons to Ender’s Game and The Passage - made it seem like it’d exactly my kind of book. But now that I’ve finished, I’m just so pissed with the whole thing I have nothing nice to say and really just want to punch something, and in fact, I dislike The 5th Wave so much I’ve somehow written not one but three ang ".bastardized sci-fi for the Twilight crowd." ".bastardized sci-fi for the Twilight crowd." Well this is awkward. But Cassie must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death. Beguiling and mysterious, Evan Walker may be Cassie's only hope for rescuing her brother-or even saving herself. To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan Walker. Who have scattered Earth's last survivors. The beings who only look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Now, it's the dawn of the 5th wave, and on a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one. And after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. Who have scatter After the 1st wave, only darkness remains. It's really nice to see how authors make their writing so appealing to all ages.After the 1st wave, only darkness remains. There is Sammy, who is 6-years-old, and he's just the most adorable character everrrr!!! I also liked how we were introduced to a lot of older and adult figures. Cassie, Evan, and Ben who are in their older teenage years. We're granted with such a bright ensemble of characters of all different ages. She puts her faith in trusting an alien when she knows that she shouldn't but it's the only way to save her brother. She's a strong and unwavering soul who doesn't back down from saving her brother even if it means she'll be captured and killed if she does something wrong. His characters do not disappoint and Cassie is the definition of female representation in YA literature. Or perhaps I'm a little bias after seeing the roles that were cast for the movie. And if this romance isn't enough to start a fire, I don't know what is! I know Rick Yancey is man so how can he just write about such irresistible male protagonists in the story.
