It's been 21 days since the hundred landed on Earth. They're the only humans to set foot on the planet in centuries...or so they thought. Facing an unknown enemy, Wells attempts to keep the group together. Clarke strikes out for Mount Weather, in search of other Colonists, while Bellamy is determined to rescue his sister, no matter the cost. And back on the ship, Glass faces an unthinkable choice between the love of her life and life itself.
In this pulse-pounding sequel to Kass Morgan's The 100, secrets are revealed, beliefs are challenged, and relationships are tested. And the hundred will struggle to survive the only way they can -- together.

Review:

I loved this continuation of the first book. It didn't do a lot of reinforming of what was going on, but I didn't think it was necessary (and that may just because I read the books back-to-back, because that is how great of an author I think Kass Morgan is... she hooked me into this series). As I was reading, my opinion of Wells's character didn't really evolve much, I still would have rather not read is part. I actually would have loved to read Sasha's viewpoint or even Octavia's viewpoint to see something other than what you got from both Bellamy's and Clarke's viewpoints.

This series is amazing and definitely worth checking out. One plus about this book is that it is even more fantastic than the first book.

I'm hoping with fingers crossed that Kass Morgan has more books in this series coming out, because she cannot leave me hanging like she did.

Review: The 100 by Kass Morgan

The 100 by Kass Morgan

In the future, humans live in city-like spaceships orbiting far above Earth's toxic atmosphere. No one knows when, or even if, the long-abandoned planet will be habitable again. But faced with dwindling resources and a growing populace, government leaders know they must reclaim their homeland... before it's too late.

Now, one hundred juvenile delinquents are being sent on a high-stakes mission to recolonize Earth. After a brutal crash landing, the teens arrive on a savagely beautiful planet they've only seen from space. Confronting the dangers of this rugged new world, they struggle to form a tentative community. But they're haunted by their past and uncertain about the future. To survive, they must learn to trust - and even love - again.

Review:

The Hundred is a fascinating story set in the future. It was an interesting take from most dystopian books that I have read because Earth has supposably been uninhabited for years. The storyline itself was broken up into four different character viewpoints: Clarke, Wells, Bellamy, and Glass. I enjoyed every characters' perspective except for Wells's. One thing I did like was that there were two guy viewpoints and two girl viewpoints, and that they all didn't take place on Earth, and not everyone of the viewpoints was from someone who was Confined (which is basically being in jail). I do want to say I was very hesitant about reading this book because of all of the viewpoints. I really prefer one viewpoint (and sometimes two viewpoints).

Clarke's Perspective
I didn't really have any problem with Clarke's perspective, but it wasn't as strong of a viewpoint (as attention-grabbing) as Glass's and Bellamy's viewpoints were, but I did like it.

Wells's Perspective
I felt like there was way too much focus on Clarke from Wells... I mean we get it, you like her! It was boring and drawn out to the point that I wanted to just skip his viewpoint every time they came up (I overcame that! and read through the entire story though). I was just very disappointed overall with this perspective and character.

Bellamy's Perspective
This viewpoint was probably my favorite out of all four viewpoints. I found it the most interesting of the perspectives. I feel like his reason for coming to Earth with The 100 was the most amazing anybody could do for anyone.

Glass's Perspecitve
I loved Glass's Perspective because it was different than the other three because it showed what life was like in space and not down on Earth. Her perspective also held an air of mystery to it, because for the longest time you didn't know what Glass had done to have been Confined.
