The last survivors of The Eden Project had to leave the cursed planet behind venturing out beyond the reaches of the solar system into trillions of miles of uncharted space.
They drift silently across the never-ending night hoping to one day reach the next star system and begin their hunt for New Earth.
Days they keep busy maintaining life support systems. Nights they struggle to sleep. It’s always night in space and when their eyes are closed, the beasts can still hunt them.
When Gen awakens from months in deep sleep, she discovers that they are not alone out there in the dark and nightmares are far more terrifying when your eyes are open.
Night Without End was a good follow up to Humanity's Last Chance, and after waiting for what seemed like ages for this release, I dove straight into it and was not disappointed. The ending caught me completely by surprise, I was not expecting that, but I am now eagerly awaiting book 3. A good read :)
I read the first book in this series a few years ago so it was a bit hard to get up to speed reading this second one. The author didn’t really go over what happened previously much at all (mostly just hints through dialogue) so until about a quarter or so through I was struggling to remember and a little bit lost. The fact the “trick” happened basically the same way twice to both ships was kind of annoying, but then I guess if it worked once they figured it would work again. There was a bit too much graphic violence for my tastes. Overall, though, I enjoyed the book (even if the cover really freaks me out). I cared deeply about the characters and wanted to keep reading to find out whether they get infected or eaten or not and whether any of them would survive to get to New Earth (I guess since there are more books in the series I assumed some would but I wanted to know which ones it would be). I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys young adult sci-fi or dystopian.
I think this book was much better than the first Eden Project, because it moved along fast and I’ve gotta say the ending was something I did not expect. And I honestly really wish that Tuna — or Tyler— stayed.. 😭 Tuna was my favorite character in this book
Now the reason I didn’t give this five stars is because like you’ll read a chapter and they just discovered something or moved somewhere, then in like two chapters you find out that they lived with their new discovery for months?! It moved slightly too fast. Also I’m not one for pregnant people or babies in books because some people get baby fever in this book and I get like second-hand embarrassment.
But! Overall this was really good. So sad Tuna didn’t make it 😭😭 I got attached to him the most..
Rather disgusting, but what can you expect from dystopian fiction?
This is the second book in the Eden Project series. The first book had some rather gory parts, but this one was even grosser. Still, an interesting read and I finished it in record time.
This book was beautiful and sad and heroic. What a burden for those children to hold onto. Survive, the first mandate, but yet their morality almost made that impossible.
I never would've dreamed I would have enjoyed books like this. (about kids & zombies in outer space) But for whatever reason these books caught my attention & I blew through them!
Night Without End was really good. I may have enjoyed this one a little bit more than the first one. I loved following the Eden Project kids on their journey through space to find a new world. Definitely an interesting concept & there's plenty of action that makes you want to keep turning the pages to find out the fate of the kids. I was a little upset over the number of deaths in this book, but I guess being in space with blood-thirsty creatures wouldn't really allow for too many happy endings.
Whhhhattt in the world?! Or should I say space?! ANYWHO - wow...I suppose this book is really realistic in it's plot, I'm just devastated by what happened. The ending brings some hope, but I'm emotionally spent.
Gen was a LOT more likable in this book, probably because she's grown up a bit and probably because the book focuses more on the Eden Project as a whole, versus a few characters...though ironically the number of characters has gone down drastically.
Book 3 looks like it shifts back to Trumpet, but I'm still intrigued by this author and the world (or lack thereof) he's built.
NOTE: STRONGLY recommended to read this series in order.
Where the first book in this series was a very high three star, this book is a solid three star. There is much more heaviness in this book. A lot of drama and human interest; it was very emotional for me. I give it high marks for that. I don't want to give any spoilers away, but I was absolutely hooked into this book until the very end. And still, at the end, I wasn't sure what I felt. The end felt very cliff-hangery. Can't wait to read the next book.
