Week 35 Review: Cold Falling White

From Goodreads:
Two teens fight for their lives after an alien invasion in this heart-stopping follow-up to Zero Repeat Forever.

Humans. Clones. Aliens. No one is safe anymore. It's the end of the world.

Xander Liu survived the alien invasion—just barely. For more than a year, he has outsmarted, hidden from, and otherwise avoided the ruthless intruders, the Nahx, dodging the deadly darts that have claimed so many. When the murder of his friend leaves him in the protective company of August, a rebellious Nahx soldier, Xander is finally able to make his way back to human controlled territory and relative safety. But safety among the humans is not what it seems.

When Raven awakes on a wide expanse of snowy sand dunes, she has many questions. What has happened to her and the other reanimated humans gathered around her? What is the meaning of the Nahx ships that hover ominously above them? And most pressing of all, where is August, who promised to keep her safe?

In the shadow of an unforgiving Canadian winter, Xander and Raven find themselves on opposite sides of an alien war. Left with little choice about their roles in the looming battle, they search for answers and allies all while being drawn back to the place where their respective fates were determined, and to the one who determined them: August. 

My Review:
Oh wow, this was such a fantastic read! After the ending of the first book, I just had to know what was going to happen next! And oh, it was so fantastic and entertaining to read, I couldn't turn the pages fast enough! It was just so good! 

When we left Raven, she was in, or had finished the process of what happens to a darted human. And oh, I had no clue what was coming, why they were doing what they were. But we learn more in this book, and that was just great! 

In this book we got Xander's perspective, which was really great, because we got to see what itw as like in the human controlled areas. Which, if you can imagine, isn't doing too well, because humanity can't help but be kinda awful, even in the midst of an alien invasion. 

That ending though? It kinda felt like the end of a book 2 in a trilogy, you know? Like, that there's supposed to be a 3rd book. I don't think it's likely, given that it's been 2 years since this book came out, and there isn't one. Which is a little sad, because I'm really enjoying it, but oh, well!

This was a really fantastic read, and I can't wait to read more by G.S. Prendergast!
