ToW 22: The 5th Wave Closure

     The end of The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey continues the excitement from the first part, and continues with the themes of trust- as Cassie and Ben struggle to figure out who's to be trusted- between camp haven, Evan Walker, and each other. This also creates several types of conf lice between each of the main characters and other overarching characters and forces, such as the leaders of Camp Haven and the alien invaders- the 'Others'.

     Eventually, a truth is found about Camp Haven's real intentions- to train youth to go an exterminate the remaining human population, making room for the others to inhibit earth. This creates even more conflict in turn- as members of the small band of survivors, including both Cassie and Ben, struggle to figure out who they can trust, especially with Evan Walker- an other who seems to have been more affected by his human upbringing than his keen.

     This ends the book in a cliffhanger, setting up the second book in the series to pick up where the first one left off.
