YADarkest Minds series.
Caught between a post-plague government that imprisons the (now psionically gifted) surviving children in camps and a resistance movement that forces them to become weapons, Ruby searches for information about the plague's origins and cure in this second installment. Though the narrative wanders due to antagonists on all fronts, the characters are complex and the world-building engages readers with powerful questions about corruption and fear.
