My heart is breaking (whatever is left of it) into a bunch of little sad pieces. 
 Bracken does a fantastic job in the second installment of The Darkest Minds trilogy, both introducing the reader to new characters (who unfortunately for the reader, are extremely easy to grow attached to) and weaves her old characters in, in such a way that it's hard to imagine the "group" as being anything but this newer, bigger, group. 
 I found this book to be very interesting, especially in that it shows us even more of this dystopian world. It so easy to become wrapped up in the story and it's events, and to imagine our America as this twisted, dark, and scared America. It's interesting to see how fear is imagined in this story. 
 There are a few twists and turns in Never Fade that I didn't quite see coming, and there are others that I could see from a mile away. The surprising turns which seem to be most important in setting up the third and final book, where the "big shockers" were not as surprising. 
 That being said, AGAIN I became attached to a minor character. Again I felt my heart break. Again I just wanted my favorites to pull out. And they didn't. Therefore I am left feeling heartbroken, and utterly depressed.
