The Darkest Legacy (the Darkest Minds, Book 4) (Darkest Minds Novel) Hardcover – 31 July 2018

This book feels a bit different to the previous ones. The story is told from a different characters' point of view and it had the potential to be good. However, the book is quite slow and not much happens to suddenly too much happens within the last chapters, to the extent it almost feels like the book leaps forward without sharing the details of the more action oriented parts. However, the big issue for me is that the book doesn't really end. I always find it frustrating when the arc of the story doesn't end. It's fine to create a thread that can continue on a next book...but writing a book that ends as if we are in the middle of the story is deeply frustrating and feels like a cheap trick to get the reader to buy the next one.

This book was brilliant. It was great to have it from Zu's point of view. After so long with her not speaking in the previous books, it was great for her to have her own voice.The storyline was great and I liked the aspect of having glimpse into the world 5 years later. Many book series end leaving the reader thinking, 'what happens next and does the world change?'Things really are not that much better and the more the plot progressed, the more we saw that it was far from what they even believed things were at.The story was fast paced throughout. I liked the new characters introduced. Roman and Priya both had great personalities and their abilities made them unique. Max and Lana were also nice additions.I loved seeing everyone back together in the end. Over 5 years, things had definitely changed but a friendship like they all had was always going to come first and win through everything they had all been through.Overall, this book was brilliant. I would definitely recommend it. I would say that it definitely needs to be read as the 4th book in the series otherwise the characters and the state of the world wouldn't really make sense.jessreviews877169955.wordpress.com

I left the series for all of two days and that was all it took to lose interest in the series. They are my favourite books, and I'm so upset I've had to give it three stars, but I promised myself I'd be honest in these reviews. It isn't the book's fault, it's 80% mine. I'm saying eitghy though because I just found the whole thing a bit same-y. The book didn't really seem to be going anywhere either - it just kept going on and on. This might have been me - and there are plenty of others saying this book is their favourite in the series - but I really didn't get this one like I did with the others. Go ahead and read it if you haven't already; just make sure you read it straight after you read the last!

This is an amazing read. I was unsure about a story taken from just Zu's perspective but it totally paid off. The book really give insight into how Zu has grown and adapted to the World and those around her. Some awesome new characters who I have grown to love as they kept us guessing in the beginning. The depth and layers of the story is incredible and so well written. I'm such a fan of the series anyway but this is definitely one of the best ones. I'm hoping it doesn' t end here. There is so. much more to tell. What's next for Roman and Zu? Do they settle in the new Haven or find out that the conspiracy runs deeper than they initially thought. What's Cruz's real agenda? What about Ruby and the rest of the gang? So much is left unsaid and unanswered. This can't be the last one.

This is definitely the best book of the series for me. One of my all time favorite books. I love it i love it i love it!!!! If you are reading this Alexandra, please please please write another book to the series!!! Maybe from Chubs or Liam's point of veiw next? Or another book for Zu, ***(spoilers)*** maybe going more into the love stories between Zu and Roman, and Lana and Priyanka.I recomend this book to all. its a fantastic book, and once again please write another!!!! Your series Alexandra is my favourite books.sorry for any gramma, punctuation or spelling mistakes.Read this book now!!!! Its amazing!!!

I loved the first three books, couldn't read them fast enough. But this sequel was disappointing, the back and forth with the time was confusing and there was a lack of depth to most of the characters.I loved the idea and the story overal.. it just didn't gel, too much in too little time. I think it should have been expanded to give it the depth you get in the previous books.

I have not read this book as I am still reading the third book in the series ,I know it will be a good read as I enjoyed reading the others in the series.

This book captured me from the very start I couldn't put it down. It was so fast paced and exciting. I really really enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone. I really hope there's another book after this because I'm itching to know what happens next
