Although I love Seth and Gudmund and would love to see a happy ending for them, if there was only going to be one sequel, I think it should be primarily focused on world building, or how all of the characters ended up asleep. I think having different protagonists for each book could be cool, and then maybe we would end up learning about Seth’s experience in the end. There’s so much potential in this book, and there were a few elements that I didn’t like about it that I think could be fixed with some exploration on the world and possibly characters. Although this probably won’t happen considering the fact that way may not even get a single sequel, I think a series of a few more books would be great. I’m sure Patrick Ness has grown as a writer since this book was written, and I think a sequel, or even a whole series, would work quite well for this book. I never expected a sequel when I first read that, but the other three books in the series ended up being some of my favorites, and made The Giver into so much more. That book ended in a similar way to how this one did, open-ended and thought provoking.
“Crackling dialogue, suspenseful action, twist plots and big ideas.I wouldn’t be mad if a sequel came out, but I’m also okay without it.
“A tense thriller and an impressively challenging and philosophical book… Captivating throughout.” What’s going on? And why is it that whenever he closes his eyes, he falls prey to vivid, agonizing memories that seem more real than the world around him? Seth begins a search for answers, hoping that he might not be alone, that this might not be the hell he fears it to be, that there might be more than just this… But the neighbourhood around his old house is overgrown, covered in dust and completely abandoned. So how is he is here? And where is this place? It looks like the suburban English town where he lived as a child, before an unthinkable tragedy happened and his family moved to America. How is that possible? He remembers dying, his bones breaking, his skull dashed upon the rocks. An enthralling and provocative new novel chronicling the life – or perhaps afterlife – of a teen trapped in a crumbling, abandoned world.Ī boy called Seth drowns, desperate and alone in his final moments, losing his life as the pounding sea claims him.
