The Twelve

I did not enjoy this book as much as I did The Passage. There were times near the last 100 pages where I began to get irritated with the style of writing. It seemed to change. I was grateful I was able to feel more at peace in terms of the characters Amy, Brad, and Lila. It seemed to become a trend that once I began to come around to a character, they were dead or disappeared somehow. One part that made me feel how the characters felt is when they tried to get to a safe space (hardbox), but it ended up not being safe at all. Another point, looking in the eyes of a viral to feel and hear a human, is awing and sad. I felt this book would be more freeing for the characters, but it seems more lonely somehow.

Favorite quote: “It's the end, not the means”

Excellent follow up to the first in the series, slightly quicker read but no less enjoyable for that. Recommend

nowhere near as good as the passage just enough to keep me hooked for book three
