Quick & Dirty: Cured was a fantastic sequel and a really fun read. It has action, romance, and wonderful characters. I would highly recommend this to anyone that is looking for a great YA dystopian read.
Opening Sentence: A person can survive on sixty pounds of beans and three hundred pounds of rice a year.
The Review:
Jacqui Bloom hasn’t left her house in years. Once the bee virus spread and society fell apart, Jacqui and her family have lived to protect each other. They weren’t lucky enough to be admitted to live in the city so they have fended for themselves out with the beasts and raiders. It isn’t safe for anyone, but it is especially unsafe for any females. There is a shortage of women so the raiders will pay 7 years worth of food to anyone that captures females for them. Because of this, Jacqui cut off all her hair and became Jack to everyone.
Jack’s brother Dean left a year ago to help Fiona and Jonah’s mother get to the rumored settlement in Wyoming, but Dean never returned. Now Jack is determined to find out what happened to her brother and she enlists the help of Fiona and Bowen to make the journey. On the way they make an unlikely ally, Kevin. He helps them to escape the raiders, but there is something about him just doesn’t add up. He has extensive knowledge about the raiders and he seems to know more about Jack than he should. Can they trust him or will he reveal secrets that are likely to get them killed?
Jack was such a wonderful protagonist that I totally loved. It has been years since she has left the confines of her home, and for all that time she learned how to survive if the time ever came for her to leave. She is a good shot and can outrun pretty much anyone.
I enjoyed the first book in the series and was happy when I learned after finishing it that there was going to be a sequel, it seemed there was still so much that needed to be done and so many that needed to be saved, so many that needed the Cure.
And as I started this one, I realized something very important, I had no idea what in the world was going on. Okay, not a great way to start out a book but, who in the heck was Jack and where was I?
So yeah, I needed a little refresher, or a big refresher and okay, maybe rereading the synopsis would have helped but geesh, I seriously was a little lost and confused there for a chapter or two.
But I realized that while Fo and Bowen and even Jonah are in this, this isn't really their story so much as it is Jack's and truly my being lost had nothing to do with the writing and everything to do with me.
After I got over my initial confusion it didn't take me long to sink right back into Wiggin's world and become reacquainted with the characters (old and new) and I dare say, I just might even like Jack more than I did Fo in the first book. But don't get me wrong, I still have mad love for Fo, Bowen and Jonah, I just so also have made love for Jack, Kevin and Dean.
This book answered so many questions I had from the first book and then some. It shed a whole new (and sometimes horrific) light on how complex the world Wiggin's created really was. Everything was explained better and in more detail as Jack really got a good look at what the world, the Raiders, the Beasts and the people behind the Wall had become and well as the colony.
