For centuries, Zeus has punished the gods with a game called the Agon, which turns them mortal for one week and at the mercy of being hunted by those with godly ambitions. Only a handful of the original Greek gods remain, the rest replaced by the mortals who killed them and ascended. After her family's sadistic murder by a rival bloodline, Lore escapes and vows to repay her parents' sacrifice by doing one thing - surviving.

How do you fight an enemy when they're inside your mind? A gargantuan glass-walled tower looms over a deadly wilderness. They say it's all that's left. The Tower's survival is humanity's survival, and each must serve it faithfully.... Twenty-year-old Liana Castell must be careful what she thinks. Her life is defined by the number on her wristband - a rating out of 10 awarded based on her usefulness and loyalty to the Tower, and monitored by a device in her skull. A device that reports forbidden thoughts.

Never to experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. But the choice has never been hers.

Summary
Ruby never asked for the abilities that almost cost her her life. Now she must call upon them on a daily basis, leading dangerous missions to bring down a corrupt government and breaking into the minds of her enemies. Other kids in the Children’s League call Ruby “Leader", but she knows what she really is: a monster.
When Ruby is entrusted with an explosive secret, she must embark on her most dangerous mission yet: leaving the Children’s League behind. Crucial information about the disease that killed most of America’s children - and turned Ruby and the others who lived into feared and hated outcasts - has survived every attempt to destroy it. But the truth is saved in only one place: a flash drive in the hands of Liam Stewart, the boy Ruby once believed was her future - and who now wouldn’t recognize her.
As Ruby sets out across a desperate, lawless country to find Liam - and answers about the catastrophe that has ripped both her life and America apart - she is torn between old friends and the promise she made to serve the League. Ruby will do anything to protect the people she loves. But what if winning the war means losing herself?

Fantastic yet again
I had to download this as soon as I finished listening to The Darkest Minds (the first book in the series) Never Fade starts of where the last ended and once again I was gripped by the characters and the further evolution of the world they liv. Once again the book is so well paced and the morality of the decisions the characters make is handled so well you will not want this story to end. Great great books a must listen.

Still in love with this series!
WOW! Normally I loose a little bit of love for series books as they go on, you have the hype and love for how amazing this new world and story is and then the second book comes along and lets you down, but this one was just as amazing as the first.
The storyline is still set at a great pace with the new characters that are introduced all being just as loveable as our reappearing main characters from The Darkest Minds.
I was hooked from the first line of this story and the ending was such a action packed cliffhanger that I will be heading straight into the next book ‘In The Afterlight’. If you loved the first book in this series, then this one is a definite must read.

Just as good as Darkest Minds
For a middle book, this one blows that "middle book syndrome" idea right out of the water. Wow! Every bit as action packed and drama driven as the first book, Alexandra Bracken has delivered a whopper of a sequel. The audio by Amy McFadden is superb. Every voice was distinct, every emotion appropriate. I am getting spoiled by all these voice actors and highly impatient with those who just narrate. This book is amazing. Just get it and listen to it - you're welcome.

The heroine continues to get whinier and wimpier
Loved the first book. She was learning her powers, falling in love, etc. In the second book she finally learns to control her powers but turns into a sniveling emotional wreck when needed. One bad decision after another. I had to stop reading before I slapped the book.

I like this story a lot but can not recommend it to my kids or anyone else because of the excessive swearing that starts in this book. The first one had virtually none. This one is RIFE with it from page 3 on. Disappointing.

Too Juvenile
I really enjoyed the movie and the first book wasn't bad. This one is terrible though. Unclear writing, characters that really don't make sense. Scenes that really don't help the story. Terrible writing.

A little disappointing.
I was excited for the 2nd part, but it wasn’t great. While it wasn’t the best, I did order the 3rd book & will listen to it. In my opinion, way too many “feelings” for such a “trained” soldier. The love affair part was very lame. Enough. Plus, the narrator has a whiney voice.

I'm bored
While there was nothing specifically wrong with the story, I was bored. I was on the fence with the first book, hoping this sequel would be a bit better, but really, it was just more of the same. I didn't even care that much for the characters. I won't be reading the thrid book, because frankly, I don't care what happens in the end. I have far too many other books to get to then read more "meh".
