Unlike the first two books, the book received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics, who criticized the ending. The Last Star concludes the story of 16-year-old Cassiopeia 'Cassie' Sullivan, battling against the aliens that have invaded Earth. The novel is the third and final in The 5th Wave trilogy, preceded by The Infinite Sea. The Last Star is a young adult science fiction novel written by American author Rick Yancey.

I highly recommend The 5th Wave to all those interested in a brilliant dystopian, sci-fi, apocalyptic, action packed, romantic novel.Print ( hardcover and paperback), e-book, audiobook Perhaps that was merely my wishful thinking coming into play.

Everything seemed to fall into place but then he confused me with his talk of breaking points and started to convince me that he really was for humanity. When he appeared a second time with Camp Haven I was incredibly suspicious. I hated Vosh with a passion – still do, really.

Evan is a brilliant character and I loved him – especially how he dealt with situations. As for his biology… Who cares? It’s choices that form a person, not where they come from. He was seemingly too good to be true, and yet… He saved Cassie and I truly believe that he loves her and is willing to die for her. I loved him, but initially I was incredibly skeptical of him – particularly after we see inside the head of the Silencer. Zombie’s quest to make Ringer smile was absolutely adorable…Įvan. Indeed, I believe it was her (or was it Zombie?) that figured out what the 5th Wave was. Ringer was also kick-ass awesome, and rather intelligent. Also, she is totally kick-ass while remaining completely human in her flaws and mistakes. She is not only the first dystopian heroine to actually actually stock up on tampons (that I have read), but she loves books and comes from a family of book lovers. Sammy’s point of view broke my heart, especially when “Nugget” was introduced to “Zombie”. In the midst of the apocalypse, it is great to know what’s going on simultaneously at different locations. Some points of views are repeated, such as Cassie and “Zombie”‘s, but I find the idea to be quite ingenious. I found it really interesting that aside from your regular chapters, Yancey divided up the novel into thirteem sections, varying in length, which represent a different point of view. 'The 5th Wave' is a brilliant novel with a great plotline and interesting, engaging characters.
