Ruby and Chubs -- one of the few things I liked in this book was their relationship. His character gets some good development and his friendship with Ruby is done really well and feels authentic. In Time, published July 16, 2013, is a short story that bridges the gap between the first and second novels of the series. I am really hyped for the third book and I can't wait to find out what goes wrong next, who dies, who survives and how the political situation changes. This series developed to be one of my favorites and I'm so really glad I've discovered it! What's Filming in Atlanta Now?". On Location Vacations. Archived from the original on May 21, 2021 .

The fans will have to wait for the official word about The Darkest Minds 2. The Darkest Minds 2: Expected StorylineWhen they arrive at East River, nothing is as it seems, least of all its mysterious leader. But there are other forces at work, people who will stop at nothing to use Ruby in their fight against the government. Ruby has joined the Children's League and the others in the first book are out on their own. I should have re-read that one first but it's all good.

Never Fade is actually better than the first book in almost every aspect and yet I decided to give a 3.5 star rating. The reason for this is because of the two cons I have on the book: This information is vital for the kids in the Children's League because it will take things out of the hands of the agents who are trying to take over the League and REALLY don't appreciate the kids being involved. In the first book Ruby had a thing going with Liam but he is out of the picture for now because of reasons. But his brother Cole is brought into the League and then all kinds of things start happening. You – you – I can’t -” Chubs sputtered, too furious to form an actual sentence. “Come out here. Right now!”Never Fade was a brutal book. Not like the Gone or Maze Runner series where it honestly was not for people with delicate constitutions, but it was pretty harsh compared to the Darkest Minds. I'm talking about getting ready for gunshots and stab wounds and a whole-freaking-butt-load of some brain-blowing mind control. We already saw Ruby evolve tremendously as a character in the Darkest Minds, but if it's possible, she changed even more. Ruby breaks out of a "rehabilitation camp" in which she has been imprisoned and teams up with a rag-tag group of fellow camp escapees to find the Slip Kid, a leader who offers shelter to young people in danger and who knows the secret to control one's powers.

Now she’s on the run, desperate to find the one safe haven left for kids like her—East River. I'm closing this review with my favorite quote from the book by Ruby for you to sink in when you're having a bad day. (there's a lot of great ones by the way)

Since there has been no announcement and it has been four years already, they might not release the sequel. Also, the film was a hit, but it earned less at the box office than expected by the studio and the producers. So, they might be apprehensive about making the second movie. But, fans are hopeful as there is no official announcement about the release or the cancellation. Amanda, who plays Ruby, has said that she would love to be Ruby again. But as they travel in search of safety and answers, and Zu grows closer to the people she knows she shouldn’t trust, they uncover even darker things roiling beneath the veneer of the country’s recovery.

In the first book, Ruby, as sixteen-year-old girl wanders about after breaking out from Thurmond (a rehabilitation facility) when she meets some kids from the League of Children, an organization leaded by a former politician, who wants to take down the current governor of the United States. Ruby is an Orange, meaning she can get inside people's head, see their memories, take control of them. In the first book she's not able to control her powers all that well which is why when she touches the hand of a member of the League of Children, she sees his memory of killing two children mercilessly because he thought they were worthless. She then runs away and comes across, Liam, Chubs and Zu and thus the adventure begins. At the end of The Darkest Minds (2018), our favourite characters have split up and are in disarray. Chubs is in the hospital and Zu leaves with a protective family. Then Ruby erases herself from Liam’s memories and joins the Children’s League as a soldier. As I mentioned in my review of the In Time novella, Alexandra’s prose is very engaging. She has a way with words! She’s also a pro at characterization. All of the characters felt so real. Actually, I kinda wish they were, so we could be friends in real life. I loved the characters just as much as I did in The Darkest Minds! Ruby! Liam! CHUBS! I love Chubs. I love him so much. He’s definitely my favorite character of this series!
