kind of hater her? and finally, Silas, a sexy orphan who gives Rhine his guidance and seems like he will play a big part in the next book. Some of my favorites include Claire, the kind and funny head of an orphanage The Madame, a character that is not, well, nice, but you love to. Many new characters popped up, and every single one of them were deliciously intriguing. The supporting characters are part of what makes this book fantastic. It's actually not so much of Rhine leading as the two leaning on each other to survive which made it so much more believable.

But in this book, you see Rhine become the stronger one, the one getting things done. Usually, the girl is the weak one, the damsel in distress, relying almost completely on a boy, the only thing that can make her life complete. I like that, because it's something you don't see very often. Gabriel is accustomed to life in the mansion, so he's not of much help. Rhine is put under incredible pressure, having to keep herself, Gabriel, and Maddie (a little girl they meet along the way) alive. You really see the characters start to grow and change during Fever. You can feel the tension rising and shifting this was one of those books that makes your heart beat a little bit faster. In Fever, Rhine is thrown out into the real world, and things aren't exactly as Rhine remembers them. In Wither, you knew there was danger, but it was easy to ignore because Rhine was sleeping in between silk sheets, being waited on, and had her husband wrapped around her finger. I cannot wait until the last installment of the trilogy, to see where it takes the story.įever is much more frightening than Wither. They go together perfectly, like two heartbeats. Wither and Fever feel like what they are, sister books. While I usually like that, in this case, I would not have.


With most books in a series, to me it seems like the books are completely separate.

While this book is definitely darker than Wither, it would not have felt right if it wasn't. Like Wither, Fever is absolutely, heart-breakingly beautiful. In this sequel to Lauren DeStefano’s harrowing Wither, Rhine must decide if freedom is worth the price-now that she has more to lose than ever.Īfter reading Fever (multiple times), naturally I was super excited to read Fever. The road they are on is long and perilous-and in a world where young women only live to age twenty and men die at age twenty-five, time is precious. Outside, they find a world even more disquieting than the one they left behind.ĭetermined to get to Manhattan and find Rhine’s twin brother, Rowan, the two press forward, amid threats of being captured again…or worse. Rhine and Gabriel have escaped the mansion, but they’re still in danger.
