3.5 Stars, rounded up. For some reason this time around I didn't like Malorie near as much, and actually found her to be irritating as she came across very hateful and closed-minded, which might very well have been Malerman's intent?? I can only imagine how someone, normally positive and optimistic, might change after 17 years of wearing blindfolds and living in fear! Now that both small children from Bird box are grown and 16-year-old teenagers, we get to know them and the book alternates in perspectives between them and Malorie, which I enjoyed. I loved both Olympia and Tom as characters, and felt their perspectives added layers to the story that Bird Box lacked. With this being said, I still preferred Bird Box, but I emphatically needed to know how Malorie's story continued, so I'm very grateful this book was published, picking back up 17 years after BB. There wasn't a whole lot to the plot, so going into more detail might spoil things, suffice it to say the main characters in this story go on yet another harrowing, life-threatening journey. I felt that there was a sense of closure for the characters at the end of this novel, however one thing really left me unsatiated....I wish Malerman had gone into some detail about what the creatures looked like, their origins, their purpose, anything at all!! Will we ever know what these freaking creatures are??? Will there be a third book?!
