I liked that this short (seven chapters) gave the perspective of a guy who isn't one of the kids affected by the "virus," meaning he doesn't have any special powers. He is just trying to survive after his parents have basically abandoned him. He does seem to not have the proper survival skills I would think he should have with the country the way it is, but he's never had to think about those things so much before.This is also a story about Zu and what happens to her after the first book. She is one of my favorite characters. Although, really all the four main characters from the first book are. She has grown up a little more in the time in-between the two books. Her character really amazes me though. She has such a sweetness about her and so easily trusts sometimes regardless of her circumstances.I really didn't know if these two would make it out okay. I grew to really like Gabe. He has such potential. The ending about killed me and now I'm definitely going to have to finish reading Never Fade soon so that I can know for sure what happened. If you enjoyed the first book, then I would definitely recommend reading this. I really enjoyed it (except for the language).Content: Language and some violence
