Summary
Rick Yancey's entire blockbuster bestselling 5th Wave series is now available in a boxed set--great for binge-reading！
In The 5th Wave， Cassie finds herself in a world devastated by alien attack， desperate to save herself and find her lost brother。 As the onslaught from the Others--the beings that look human and kill anyone they see--continues， Cassie's mission is to stay alone and stay alive。 But then she meets Evan Walker， who may be Cassie's only hope for rescuing her brother--or even saving herself。 Cassie must choose: between trust and despair， between defiance and surrender， between life and death。
In The Infinite Sea， the heart-stopping action continues as the situation gets even worse for Cassie and the rest of Earth's remaining human survivors。 No one knows the depths to which the Others will sink， nor can they imagine the heights to which the human spirit can reach as they face the ultimate test。
In The Last Star， Earth's remaining survivors will need to decide what's more important: saving themselves 。 。 。 or saving what makes them human。 The final book in this epic series will leave you awestruck。

I know there are many people who enjoy this series and I can see how they could but it just wasn’t for me。 I realized while reading the series that I just didn’t really enjoy books about aliens， and I don’t think I ever will。

This spectacular trilogy will leave you on the edge of your seat and constantly turning the page。 It has the perfect amount of suspense， action， and romance to keep your heart pounding and your mind spinning。

Over all the series was enjoyable for me。 Solid 3。5/5 Yes it’s a teen book about an alien take over。 Yes there’s some corny teen romance but over all I have no complaints。 The 1st book was my favorite but I sped through the 2nd and 3rd as well。 This wasn’t a life changing series for me but it also will have me looking for more books by yancy。 I did listen to the series and the narrator was good。 The story is exciting if a little predictable but there are a few twists I didn’t see coming。 If you Over all the series was enjoyable for me。 Solid 3。5/5 Yes it’s a teen book about an alien take over。 Yes there’s some corny teen romance but over all I have no complaints。 The 1st book was my favorite but I sped through the 2nd and 3rd as well。 This wasn’t a life changing series for me but it also will have me looking for more books by yancy。 I did listen to the series and the narrator was good。 The story is exciting if a little predictable but there are a few twists I didn’t see coming。 If you like post apocalyptic survival books and decidedly YA writing style both of which I tend to enjoy give this series a try。 I don’t think every book has to be a life changer。 Sometimes they just need to be fun to read and this was。 。。。more

You have to read the trilogy because in my case it has tought me 3 important things。 Firstly， the importance of a promise; as a teenager I discovered that people tend to underrate the value of a promise but reading this trilogy gave me a new point of view。 Secondly， never judge a person wether you know the whole story of the other person or not; it's important to be respectful with everyone around。 Thirdly， people are strong than they think; the trilogy help me to see how important is for the wo You have to read the trilogy because in my case it has tought me 3 important things。 Firstly， the importance of a promise; as a teenager I discovered that people tend to underrate the value of a promise but reading this trilogy gave me a new point of view。 Secondly， never judge a person wether you know the whole story of the other person or not; it's important to be respectful with everyone around。 Thirdly， people are strong than they think; the trilogy help me to see how important is for the world that people get together in order to face certain troubles; for example， at this moment it is important to fight against global warming。 All in all， the trilogy is very important for you to read it， maybe you will learn 1 thing or 2， maybe you would learn the same things as me or maybe other important things。 Every book teaches a lesson just pay attention。 。。。more

This series was amazing， and I’m sad to have finished it。 I loved the first two books。 The third book。。。 not so much。 Im not sure what to think of the ending。 It showed that not every book has to have a happily ever after ending。 This series is now one of my favorites。 I loved the character growth （in the first two books at least） and the nonstop action。 It was definitely a darker and more mature book than other dystopias such as The Hunger Games and Divergent。 I would say 14+。 There was lots of This series was amazing， and I’m sad to have finished it。 I loved the first two books。 The third book。。。 not so much。 Im not sure what to think of the ending。 It showed that not every book has to have a happily ever after ending。 This series is now one of my favorites。 I loved the character growth （in the first two books at least） and the nonstop action。 It was definitely a darker and more mature book than other dystopias such as The Hunger Games and Divergent。 I would say 14+。 There was lots of language， violence， and a few slightly inappropriate things。 The ending of the third book had a potential set up for a spin off series， which I heard could happen （fingers crossed！）。 But it needs to be better than that last book， so the bar is set pretty low。 。。。more

I’m a big fan of post-apocalyptic/dystopian society books （even though technically this is aliens）。 Big fan of YA。 If you are too this series will not disappoint！

I really wanted to like the first two books but I found the story telling both emo and clunky and kept on wondering why that particular group of kids from nowhere in the mid-west had to be the pivotal actors in the attempted defeat of the alien invaders。 I didn't bother reading the last book。 I really wanted to like the first two books but I found the story telling both emo and clunky and kept on wondering why that particular group of kids from nowhere in the mid-west had to be the pivotal actors in the attempted defeat of the alien invaders。 I didn't bother reading the last book。 。。。more

The 5th Wave （The 5th Wave #1） - 4 starsI found it interesting how throughout the beginning of the novel， the story was told from Cassie's point of view but from different points in time。 I liked how we were able to learn tidbits of information through flashbacks and then were brought to the present through random spurts。 Yancey definitely used this method to bring a little suspense to the reader and to keep us on our toes， because I did not want to put this book down after every chapter。 Moreov The 5th Wave （The 5th Wave #1） - 4 starsI found it interesting how throughout the beginning of the novel， the story was told from Cassie's point of view but from different points in time。 I liked how we were able to learn tidbits of information through flashbacks and then were brought to the present through random spurts。 Yancey definitely used this method to bring a little suspense to the reader and to keep us on our toes， because I did not want to put this book down after every chapter。 Moreover， the dynamic between Cassie and Evan was portrayed in a way that I was always wondering when Evan was going to tell her the truth about him， and Cassie's emotions were definitely overwhelming especially during intense situations。 Something I really liked was the way Yancey built the idea of the Others to the reader and how it wasn't just a simple alien attack， but the inclusion of technology and genetic engineering is captivating and is what makes it such a diverse sci-fi novel。 Overall， this novel was a great way to start off the series and introduce the audience to each character presented。 The Infinite Sea （The 5th Wave #2） -3。5 StarsAfter reading the second novel， I can already say that the first one was my favorite， but I really like how Yancey incorporated different narratives throughout the book， and now expanding to characters that we thought were irrelevant。 There was definitely more suspense and thriller scene in this novel， which is something I always gravitate to， but at times following the novel did get confusing。 A quote that really got to me was， "That’s the cost。 That’s the price。 Get ready， because when you crush the humanity out of humans， you’re left with humans with no humanity"; it just really emphasized that this battle was expanding and the people you love might not make it， so that made me definitely keep reading to figure out what crazy event or realization was going to happen next。 Cassie is definitely a very strong and compassionate character， but it was intriguing how Ringer had more of a point of view throughout the book， because it brought to light a character that has low-key gone through so much but didn't have that much attention in the first novel; there were some point of view's that weren't needed， like Poundcake's， but nonetheless it brought a different perspective to the events happening。 Again， I really like the dynamic between Cassie and Evan， whether it's the romance or the friendship or the loyalty， it really made me keep cheering them on and hoping for the best。The Last Star （The 5th Wave #3） - 4 StarsSpeechless。 The one word I would use to describe my feelings after reading this book。 After having poured my time and energy into the first 2 novels and then reading The Last Star， I was just left in shock。 I applaud you Rick Yancey because you threw in so many different twists and turns and chaotic situations that I was reading at 1000 mph to get to the end。 Sammy has been a main character since the beginning of the series， but this specific novel really shined a light on how much this young child has had to grow after everything that has happened to him。 Moreover， Zombie （Ben） is also someone who was introduced in the first novel， but this novel really showed how he's not just Cassie's ex-high school crush and a typical jock， but someone who has matured and grown to care about people other than himself。 Lastly， Cassie， one of my favorite female protagonist， is so realistic and true to not only the audience but herself， and she shows her true power while still providing her witty comments。 Overall， this novel was a great way to end this captivating series that really took me for a ride through emotions and suspense。 。。。more

I liked the books。 By the 3rd novel I was ready to see how it would all wrap up。 It wasn't a clean wrap up， either。 I LIKE that in a series sometimes。 I found it hard to feel for any of the characters in the novels at some points。 Then again， I'm not really in the age range of the characters and I imagine that had something to do with it。 haha。 I liked the books。 By the 3rd novel I was ready to see how it would all wrap up。 It wasn't a clean wrap up， either。 I LIKE that in a series sometimes。 I found it hard to feel for any of the characters in the novels at some points。 Then again， I'm not really in the age range of the characters and I imagine that had something to do with it。 haha。 。。。more

This is one of the best science fiction series ever created。 Honestly， this series is masterful and articulate。 The story draws you in， and you find yourself living in the shoes of each character。 While the movie kind of sucked， the books are so good that you find yourself wishing for more。 Be warned， the ending will bring tears to your eyes after the initial mind blow that you receive。 Nothing is as it appears in this trilogy！！！
