“Anyone who read The 5th Wave will thrill to the heart-pounding
pacing, lyrical prose, and mind-bending twists that continue here. Yancey’s
narrative shifts continue too, allowing for a slow pulling back of the curtain
on characters, including, intriguingly, the aliens themselves.”

pace, scary plot twists, and all-too-believable world building. Now, follow-up The Infinite Sea has dialed up the
tension even higher…Get ready for endless double crosses and a finale that will
shock you.”

“This gut-wrenching sequel to The 5th
Wave careens on a violent course of nonstop action…Reversals and
double-reversals abound…Despite the gore, inhumanity, and senseless losses,
Yancey manages an ending that both shatters and uplifts.”

“The action springs back and forth in place and time…The ‘infinite sea’ can
be made of snow, of tears, of the floaty feeling of semi-consciousness, and,
more than once, it is a sea of blood…Will keep action-craving readers
enthralled. With a 5th Wave movie in the works, and alien questions left
unanswered, expect readers to be interested in this series for the foreseeable
future.”
— School Library Journal
-
“A terse, streamlined volume packed with action and violence that will keep
readers on the edges of their seats…Everything culminates in a 180-degree
reversal that turns the series’ cosmos on its end and will no doubt have
readers impatiently screaming for the third. A roller-coaster ride of a sequel.”
