Summary: from Goodreads
Ruby can't look back. Fractured by an unbearable loss, she and the kids who survived the government's attack on Los Angeles travel north to regroup. With them is a prisoner: Clancy Gray, son of the president, and one of the few people Ruby has encountered with abilities like hers. Only Ruby has any power over him, and just one slip could lead to Clancy wreaking havoc on their minds.
They are armed only with a volatile secret: proof of a government conspiracy to cover up the real cause of IAAN, the disease that has killed most of America's children and left Ruby and others like her with powers the government will kill to keep contained. But internal strife may destroy their only chance to free the "rehabilitation camps" housing thousands of other Psi kids.
Meanwhile, reunited with Liam, the boy she would-and did-sacrifice everything for to keep alive, Ruby must face the painful repercussions of having tampered with his memories of her. She turns to Cole, his older brother, to provide the intense training she knows she will need to take down Gray and the government. But Cole has demons of his own, and one fatal mistake may be the spark that sets the world on fire.
Feelings:
I enjoyed In The After Light, the last book in the series. It was a little less exciting that the previous books. I also found the Ruby Liam drama to be getting old. I felt a little like the drama had been concocted to keep the book moving forward when the rest of the plot had slowed. I did enjoy the book and was a little disappointed to see the series come to an end. I was surprised to find that I was alright with the ending and I don't feel like I need more from the characters.
I recommend the series that started with The Darkest Minds it was a different look at a dystopian future.
