![]() That facet of this series never ceases to amaze me. They may do so as monsters or saints, they may deal with it by going insane, seizing power, praying zealously, bucking up, running away, killing, breaking down, questioning the very fiber of their lives, minds, and morals.a multitude of ways, just like real people. Sure, some parts will make your stomach twist, your heart pound in sympathy, your mind recoil at such terrible choices, terrible situations. It's funny.this book (and indeed this series) can simply be described in three words: "It Got Worse." The phrase "catching a break" simply does not exist for these characters, because after all, "It's the FAYZ." But despite that, it isn't depressing.sometimes it's even triumphant when these overwhelming odds are overcome. ![]() Astrid, wondering if saving her brother is worth losing the FAYZ. Brittany/Drake, dreaming of death and escape in a cell guarded by Orc, the broken alcoholic. Sam and a group of his friends pursuing a new lead on a source of fresh water and food. ![]() ![]() Caine and Diana, hashing out their twisted, complex, brilliant relationship on the island far away from Perdido Beach. Once again, the author effortlessly balances a wide cast of familiar characters as the numerous subplots and point-of-views unique to the book begin. It's not exactly like each book gets better, but like the story as a whole gets deeper, more layered. ![]() Just as I hoped, "Plague" stays true to the riveting, brutally honest roller-coaster this series has always been. ![]()
