For Gene and the remaining humans—or hepers—death is just a heartbeat away. On the run and hunted by society, they must find a way to survive in The Vast... and avoid the hungry predators tracking them in the dark. But they’re not the only things following Gene. He’s haunted by the girl he left behind and his burgeoning feelings for Sissy, the human girl at his side.
When they discover a refuge of exiled humans living high in the mountains, Gene and his friends think they’re finally safe. Led by a group of intensely secretive elders, the civilisation begins to raise more questions than answers. A strict code of behaviour is the rule, harsh punishments are meted out, young men are nowhere to be found—and Gene begins to wonder if the world they've entered is just as evil as the one they left behind. As life at the refuge grows more perilous, he and Sissy only grow closer. In an increasingly violent world, all they have is each other... if they can only stay alive.
My Review:
This was such a great book! And pretty much the opposite in terms from the first book, because in this book, its fellow humans who are the main threat in this book, once they get there! It was really quite awesome!
It's been over a year since I read The Hunt, so I had forgotten a lot of things, like that he was falling in love with a different lady. But then there was this book, which kicks off pretty much immediately after The Hunt, so I got those details.
And Gene, well, there's Sissy, and I enjoyed the relationship that developed there! It was a real counter to the world that they found themselves in, which I would never want to live in! What with the few guys being high up, and the girls being lesser beings, basically, and being pregnant most of the time!
Oh, that ending! What with all the twists and turns, and such wonderful writing, I just wasn't expecting anything, I was read for just about anything that I could imagine, not fixed on anything. But I didn't guess that!
This was such a great book, dark and interesting, and I can't wait for the 3rd and final book!
