I bought the sequel, and also thoroughly enjoyed it, with Bracken stepping up her game and providing more action, more characters, and more morally questionable mind manipulation. And it was made that much better by the fact that it was an obscure, non award winning gem tucked away in a highly typical and derivative teen section full of vampires, werewolves, fairies, and fascist dictatorships. The Darkest Minds was a unique, intense, and gritty character driven yarn set in a refreshing take on the typical teen “dystopia” with delicious psychic powers thrown in. Recommendations can go a long way though, especially if they are passionate and vehement, and this is how Alexandra Bracken’s The Darkest Minds was presented to me. It’s hard to tell from just a blurb and a skim how much I will actually enjoy the full product, and frankly there’s a certain risk in just picking up a mainstream book and buying it for any superficial reason. I pick a lot of these books up, read their blurbs, and, if I’m feeling a touch rebellious, flip to a page and read some of the content inside. I’ve worked in a bookstore for a while now, which means I, at the very least, see a lot of books. ![]() ![]() But as charismatic as he can choose to be, Julian is also volatile and capriciously cruel, and Paul becomes increasingly afraid that he can never live up to what Julian expects of him.

I swear to be your shield, your protector, your worshipper. “Emma, I will love you with every breath in my body and beyond my own death. ![]() I'm praying that I'll love this book and will hopefully be longer/more satisfying than the 2nd book! As to whether or not this book will be in the POV of Emma, Galen, or both remains a mystery. I guess I will look forward to the 3rd book out of curiosity and that part of me that is still loyal to loving this series. I'll admit that I enjoy love triangles from time to time, but I prefer knowing that I'm facing one when I'm starting a series rather having one pop up later. But please please PLEASE.no love triangle -_- (if there will be one). Actually now that I think about the title, is there a possibility of a new/unknown kingdom? If so, I can definitely see a good story coming from there. I suppose those two can garner a great story, but as of now I can't see it. ![]() I suppose the Epilogue ended with a small opening of a possible 3rd book, but I don't know what other problem Emma and Galen could possibly deal with that may be life threatening (except the exposure of Syrena or something about Jagen since technically it wasn't completely resolved/mentioned how he was dealt with). Not to hate on Anna or the series, but I can't imagine much of a good storyline to go off on with Book 2's ending.
