Synopsis: It's been seven months since all the adults disappeared. Gone.
It happens in one night. A girl who died now walks among the living; Zil and the Human Crew set fire to Perdido Beach; and amid the flames and smoke, Sam sees the figure of the boy he fears the most: Drake. But Drake is dead. Sam and Caine defeated him along with the Darkness—or so they thought.
As Perdido Beach burns, battles rage: Astrid against the Town Council; the Human Crew versus the mutants; and Sam against Drake, who is back from the dead and ready to finish where he and Sam left off. And all the while deadly rumors are raging like the fire itself, spread by the prophetess Orsay and her companion, Nerezza. They say that death is a way to escape the FAYZ. Conditions are worse than ever and kids are desperate to get out. But are they desperate enough to believe that death will set them free?
Review: Well, thank goodness that's over with. The whole book was one big mess. Grant kept jumping around from person to person until I wasn't quiet sure what the heck was happening. Stick to one person!
And the storyline is just too unbelievable, even for a work of fiction! This series is beginning to turn into another Maximum Ride series, expect at least the first few books of Maximum Ride were GOOD. Gone and Hunger were only decent reads.
The characters have major issues. These kids need to hurry up and get along because their situation is getting really, really annoying. Hopefully they'll get out of the FAYZ soon (but obviously not THAT soon, considering the fact that there are three more books left in the series. After Light, it should finally be all over!).
Meh, read if you've read the other books and have already made it this far. I'm going to try to finish the series just so I can say that I did.
