Destination Unknown by K. A. Applegate
Rating: Liked (Hated-Disliked-Okay-Liked-Loved)
These books are surprisingly short. I keep reaching the end of them way before I expect to. It takes me about four hours to read an average YA book, but these take me about two hours at my normal reading speed. At least they'll give me a nice bump to my book count for the year?
The book picks up right where the first book ended, but I can't talk about the plot at all without it being spoilery, so I'm going to put it behind the cut. If you intend to read this series, which I recommend you do, don't click on the cut:
( Plot spoilers )
While I enjoyed this book quite a lot, it had a disturbingly familiar formula to it. It took me a moment to pin down from where, and once I realized it, it made perfect sense: It felt just like the book series her husband writes. Same character types, characters cut off from all other people, falling naturally into two different and opposing groups. It wasn't a bad thing, it just made the story feel less original.
If the whole series wasn't published already, I'd be annoyed because each of these books thus far feels more like a chapter in the story instead of a stand-alone book.
Next up: Them (Remnants book 3)
