It doesn't help that Evan is not only bland but lacking in sufficient backstory, especially when we find out he's harboring a secret. Of course, sexual tension ensues, and Cassie falls prey to a super dull romance subplot that takes up the bulk of her character's storyline. Early on, Cassie gets separated from her family and friends, and is left to fend for herself, which gives her character some time to adjust and reflect on what's happened.Īlas, this is also when Cassie meets hunky mountain man Evan Walker (Alex Roe), who guides Cassie through the woods to find the military base where Sam is stationed. Luckily, Moretz makes a good, solid lead, and her character gets plenty to do throughout the film. As a result, we hardly get to know any of the characters before the devastation begins, and by then it's all just plot. This includes knocking out all the power (First Wave), mass earthquakes (Second Wave) and disease (Third Wave) - all of which are stiffly narrated by Cassie. Be prepared to put off sleep and other responsibilities as you dive into Yancey's Infinite Sea, a book so immersive you'll want to immediately re-read it the moment you're done.Diving headlong into the invasion, the movie begins by blowing through the first three waves in about 20 minutes. If you think you have everything figured out, you're most definitely wrong, and that's a good thing. Just know that it has more of your favorite characters, lots of new heroes and villains (and those who are somehow in both camps), and even a powerful dose of breathtaking romance. Pardon the vague language, but there's so much in The Infinite Sea that should be experienced on the page and not through a review.
We learn more about her past (including her actual name and what it takes to make her finally laugh) and root for her as she embarks on a mysterious journey that leads her, like Cassie in the first book, to love and new discoveries. In contrast to Cassie is Ringer, who's bumped up from supporting player to main character. Cassie's back but more confused than ever she has no idea how to deal with her traumatized brother (who blatantly prefers Ben) or her seemingly misguided but deep-seated faith that Evan Walker will be back - for her. This one raises the stakes, deepens characterizations, and adds in enough startling twists to keep readers desperate for more. Yancey brilliantly continues his sci-fi epic with an equally enthralling second story.
