SciFi Book Review: The 100: Homecoming

The 100: Homecoming by Kass Morgan

Synopsis:
Weeks after landing on Earth, the Hundred have managed to create a sense of order amidst their wild, chaotic surroundings. But their delicate balance comes crashing down with the arrival of new dropships from space.

These new arrivals are the lucky ones-back on the Colony, the oxygen is almost gone-but after making it safely to Earth, GLASS’s luck seems to be running out. CLARKE leads a rescue party to the crash site, ready to treat the wounded, but she can’t stop thinking about her parents who may still be alive. Meanwhile, WELLS struggles to maintain his authority despite the presence of the Vice Chancellor and his armed guards, and BELLAMY must decide whether to face or flee the crimes he thought he’d left behind.

It’s time for the Hundred to come together and fight for the freedom they’ve found on Earth, or risk losing everything-and everyone-they love.

Review:
Homecoming is the third installment in the 100 series. The tv show (based on these novels) is completely different in story and feel. I much prefer the books, as the show has gotten to be extremely dark and depressing with little hope or good feelings. The novels also have some great characters that I thoroughly enjoy. This latest novel is packed with drama, suspense, romance, and mystery. And events build to an exciting and satisfying conclusion. Young adult science fiction fans will want to check out this engaging series.
