The Darkest Legacy A Darkest Minds Novel Alexandra Bracken Books

For those long-time fans of Alexandra Bracken's emotional, action-packed The Darkest Minds series, The Darkest Legacy is a complex and accomplished new installment of a story whose characters and their relationships, their family, are its heart and soul. For those who are new to the series, The Darkest Legacy can stand on its own, or as an entry point into a wider narrative world about teens who are both powerless due to age and circumstance, and powerful due a twist of a fate and their unremitting will to protect each other and survive.

The Darkest Legacy picks up five years after the main series, which was told over the course of three full-length novels (The Darkest Minds, Never Fade, and In the Afterlight) and one collection of short stories and novellas (Through the Dark). The youngest of the four main protagonists of the main series, Suzume, who was a child in the earlier novels, is now a sixteen-year-old woman struggling with the complexities and contradictions of revolution and its aftermath. The villains of old may have been defeated (key word: may), but darkness has more than one body, and lives in more than one mind. The way the author expands the horizons of cruelty and human selfishness in this latest volume is, perhaps, a sign of the times in which it was written, but more likely an evolution of the sort of moral grayness and unflinching honesty about the human condition--its virtues and its malice--that characterized the earlier books.

In the Darkest Legacy, a grown Zu serves as the mouthpiece for what you might charitably call a public relations campaign, and uncharitably call propaganda. She assures young Psi like herself--children and teens who survived a disease that killed most of their peers, and left those spared with awesome (in the true sense of the word) and at times terrifying psionic powers--that the new U.S. government is on their side...as long as they're willing to make temporary, escalating concessions. Zu does this because her childhood experiences have taught her that revolution is never clean, that triumph is never easy, and she believes on some level that it is better to struggle within the system than to face the loneliness and fear of exile. But at heart, she performs her duties because she believes in her friends, who have their own complex relationship with the government and are, too, trying to forge a better path for the Psi, even if it's more steps back than forward most days.

But not all of Zu's friends believe this, and fissure has formed within the tight group of wanderers that is now the only family she knows. When an event Zu is speaking at is attacked and dozens of people are killed, blame soon falls on Zu, who has managed to escape with two mysterious Psi. After five years of trying to acclimate to normal life and society, Zu is once again on the run, with people she can only half-trust, in the hopes of proving her innocence to a country that believes she's only half-human.

Our favorite characters from the Darkest Minds appear, and it is like coming home to see them once again on the page. But Zu is the real light of the Darkest Legacy, the little girl grown up, the powerful woman who has come into her own--and will not be silenced again.

The Darkest Legacy A Darkest Minds Novel Alexandra Bracken Books Reviews

So, I loved this book tremendously! Bracken just picks the story right up 5 years after the last book ended. Things have not turned out the way the gang had hoped they would and 17year old Zu gets caught up in the middle of a pretty major conspiracy. It takes the whole gang reuniting to bring down the real bad guys and clear Zu's name. Plus we get to make some new friends as well as some new enemies along the way.
Having read through the first series when I came to this book I sort of felt burnout on the world and thusly it took me a month to read it when I usually devour a book this size in a day or two.

Alexandra Bracken does a good job in character development. The character of Zu was interesting and easily carried the weight of the book. The author was able to take her to new depths and create a character that was equal to or greater than Ruby the protagonist of the first series. there was something powerful about the character in the first series that's translated well into this work. I almost wish that the character could have been put into a different story with a completely new and fresh world for us to discover.

I dislike the storyline of the series mainly because of how much I am required to suspend my disbelief and to ignore logic. This is more of a stain from the previous series but does crop up in this book in places.
The pacing did feel a off while because of me picking me up and putting it down. However I do think that the techniques the author used in flashback chapters was hit and miss. It did make the story feel a bit choppy. Getting towards the end the story was getting stronger and had a better direction. However the ending was a slap in the face both in pacing and what happened. Let's just say something dramatic happens that should have taken a few chapters to solve but we get a time Jump Ahead in the future problem solved and set up for the next book. Making it feel like a gimmick to force the reader to buy the next book.
I've never read any previous books in the darkest minds series but the storyline of the darkest legacy sounded really good so I bought it and read it and I'm glad I did the darkest legacy is definitely the best book I've ever read I love the main character Zu she is tough determined and is always the first one to take charge but also suffers from PTSD from the horrible things that happened to her in her life but she has the strength to move beyond that I love strong female characters and Zu is just awesome i also love her two sidekicks Roman and priyanka I didn't trust them at first but as I got further into the book i loved them I loved the characters from the previous books too especially vida Even though I haven't read the previous books their still awesome characters Even though the darkest legacy is technically the 4th book in the series it makes an excellent standalone read and despite people complaining about the ending I loved it it was a really happy and hopeful ending and it wrapped up pretty much everything in the storyline while still leaving things open for a sequel I also think the darkest legacy is way better than any hunger games book the world in the darkest legacy is way more believable and I think the overall storyline writing and characters is better than the hunger games

Another reason I like the darkest legacy is because it's very real to me yes it's a science fiction dystopian book but The way the U.S. Government treated the psi kids and the way the U.S. Government became a corrupt pretty much authoritarian state in the book is very plausible and I could definitely see our actual government going this rout in real life

Overall I highly recommend the darkest legacy it's an amazing dystopian novel with a strong female lead great characters writing and a great ending I'll definitely be reading the previous books in the series and I'll definitely be watching the darkest minds movie when it's released on blu ray

Highly recommended
