Okay, so the first thing I want to talk about is the paranoia that I dealt with throughout this whole book. If you haven’t read this book yet, you really should. The writing is amazing, the characters are amazing like yaas Evan Walker is bae (well one of my baes) There were some points while I was reading it where I would forget where I was because I would just get so lost in this book. Rick Yancey had an amazing talent of putting us into this world where we feel like we’re with these characters and we’re going through these experiences with them. She was just a sassy, sarcastic 17 year old girl who was definitely badass.

But, I think I enjoyed Cassie’s point of view more. We also get to see the point of view of Ben Parrish who is an important character in this book. The characters were amazing in this book. Once we read the Fourth Wave, no one is able to trust anyone because anyone could be one of the “Others”.Ĭassie starts to lose hope until she meets Evan Walker who might be her only chance of getting her little brother Sammy back. The first wave is darkness and anything electronic like cellphones, cars, etc. One day, the humans see a mothership in the sky which freaks them and out and they try to get a peace arrangement with them but the Aliens or the “Others” (as Cassie and her father calls them) don’t say or do anything for 10 days which makes everyone nervous.Īfter those 10 days, the first wave hits them. In this book, we follow the main character Cassie which is short for Cassiopeia. I’ll be showing 2 sections, one spoiler free and then a spoiler section. The 5th wave is the first book in the Fifth Wave Trilogy by Rick Yancey which is a young adult, science fiction dystopian novel that was published on by Putnam’s Sons Books for Young Readers.
