Publisher's summary

The long-awaited new novel in the New York Times best-selling Darkest Minds series, now a major motion picture.

Five years after the destruction of the so-called rehabilitation camps that imprisoned her and countless other Psi kids, 17-year-old Suzume “Zu” Kimura has assumed the role of spokesperson for the interim government, fighting for the rights of Psi kids against a growing tide of misinformation and prejudice. But when she is accused of committing a horrifying act, she is forced to go on the run once more in order to stay alive.

Determined to clear her name, Zu finds herself in an uncomfortable alliance with Roman and Priyanka, two mysterious Psi who could either help her prove her innocence or betray her before she gets the chance. 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. With her future - and the future of all Psi - on the line, Zu must use her powerful voice to fight back against forces that seek to drive the Psi into the shadows and save the friends who were once her protectors.

From number-one New York Times best-selling author Alexandra Bracken comes a harrowing story of resilience, resistance, and reckoning that will thrill loyal fans and new listeners alike.

Not quite as good

I love the series, although Ruby can be a bit much to take sometimes, Liam as well. but the overall story through all the books was good, the theme was good and I would totally read another book. Its just the focus on Suzumi was a little slow and dry. keep up the good work though! thanks!

Better every book!

Bracken is one of the best writers I have read. She make her characters so real, its heart breaking. Listening to them struggle and make bad decisions and get lucky. It's a crazy roller coaster that pull you in at every turn. Cannot wait for the next one!!!

An amazing book

This book is amazing written in a way that fans can see the way our favorite characters of the series have grown and changed in this modern world wild allowing us as the readers to learn about the new characters we meet in Zu’s life and following along with her as hers and our perspective on governments change. I love this book and hope that others will give it a chance !

Excellent ending to a great series!

I found this book to be more action packed than the rest. I loved the story line and that it was told from a different character's POV. I was happy with how this series ended. Good stuff!

Very confusing

DO NOT read if you haven't read the novellas. All I can assume is that at least the last novella ties directly into this one because I spent 90% of this book wondering what the heck was going on. Add to that a wholly unsatisfying ending and it was a very disappointing read for me after having enjoyed the trilogy so much.

Not as good as the original trilogy

Loved the original trilogy but this seems like a money grab, really just didn’t care about Zu at all and wanted the story to be over

Better then I expected by far

I went into this thinking it wasn’t gonna be as entertaining in zu’s point of view. It really surprised me and I really enjoy hearing the story with new and old character. I fell in love with the new character and fell more in love with the old characters.

final book?

I wasn't a huge fan of this book. Ending left much to be desired. Series would have been better off ending with Ruby's perspective in book 3. Performance was ok. changed pronunciation of names a few times.
