Fragments is a twisty maze of twistedness! My mind is spinning out of control! What in the world is going on?! This sequel did get off to an extremely slow and boring start, but once it got going, it just kept going and going and going and going until my brain was mush. Kira is out searching for information on ParaGen, since there has been no success on replicating the cure, and she has no idea what she is. Meanwhile, Marcus is still in East Meadow trying to piece things together there, such as where Nandita went and why. Kira has better luck as she finds a man living alone who happens to have boxes and boxes full of ParaGen documents. Too bad he's missing the most crucial papers; i.e. the cure and how RM works.

The plot of Fragments became more intricate and complex as the book goes on. Once Kira learns something new, fifty more questions are created. Then what she thought was the answer, turned out to be something else. And the only person who can help her is Afa, a computer genius who is convinced he's the last human alive and often reverts to a childlike state. It was hard to coax information out of him, but eventually Kira learns all he knows, and most importantly what he doesn't know and where to find it. This takes her, Afa, and when they appear, Samm and Heron, on a trip across the country. There's all kinds of bizarre and frightening creatures out there, as well as the ruin from the war, making their trip more difficult. But, oh, the answers that they eventually get! Blew my mind!

While most of Fragments is focused on Kira's adventures, Marcus does learn some important information too. He doesn't come up with it on his own, he has to go find someone who he hasn't seen in a long time, Kira's "sister" Ariel. She reveals all kinds of sinister things that happened in Nandita's house, but that leads them closer to the truth, and there's another surprise that I didn't see coming! Nandita is certainly sneaky and smart. There are also a handful of chapters from Haru, which I wasn't that into. One plot twist is revealed, but nothing came of it after that. I'm sure that's being saved for Ruins, but I'm really not a fan of introducing a minor character's POV for a couple of pages just to reveal a plot point.

Fragments was really good! The beginning is a bit of a chore to get through, but it's absolutely worth it! I did work out one piece of the human-Partial puzzle, and felt so proud of myself! Of course, this is like a million piece puzzle of a polar bear in a snow storm, so there's definitely a lot more revealed and left to be revealed!

Fragments Partials Sequence Dan Wells Books Reviews


Partials is a very well-written dystopian story that doesn't insult the reader's intelligence, revolving around a post-apocalytpic future where newborns don't live more than a few hours and what is left of science and medicine must find a cure for a mysterious virus known as RM. So desperate are the powers that be that the mandatory pregnancy age is being lowered to 16 so that the remaining humans can hopefully produce one offspring that will live--or at least provide additional research. Sixteen is how old our protagonist is when the story opens; Kira is a talented nurse who has a daring vision of combatting the RM virus, one that involves dealing with the enemy, a frightening group of semi human androids known as Partials (created by man), who waged a war that almost wiped out the human race eleven years before. The action takes place in what was once New York City.

The books starts off well, with sharp mysteries and plot development, all balanced with original dialog and characters. There's plenty of action and intrigue as Kira negotiates a tricky path to find her cure, and several ominous forces are at work, including some of her allies. The 'science' of the virus and of the Partials themselves is all well explained and believable. And, as mentioned, the scene setting is top-notch; the author knows what the world looks like after the apocalypse.

Having said that, I found the novel losing steam about half way through, and I'm not sure why. Perhaps there are too many episodic treks back and forth across the blasted landscape of the future. Perhaps too many characters and sub-plots that cause the reader to lose focus (this reader anyway) as he or she juggles all that is happening. One odd habit the author has is that he almost never describes a character's physical traits so we have no idea what they look like. Strange as he goes to such lengths to paint the haunting world after 'The Break'. I think he may have drawn such an elaborate setup that he is constantly having to explain it rather than simply letting the story take its course.

But Partials is head and shoulders above its peers and readers of dystopian lit won't be disappointed.
I have always been drawn to stories about how people survive widespread death and destruction--particularly when humans have brought these circumstances upon themselves. Partials delivers a disturbing future world reminiscent of the Terminator movies, where artificial intelligence goes awry and takes control. The plot definitely moved the story, whereas the characters could've been more developed. Kira was the only one I really connected with. Marcus seemed kind of bland, Samm was at least mysterious, and the girls I had a hard time keeping track of who was who. I didn't even feel like I was rooting for Madison's baby other than in some vague sort of way since saving her saved the human race. The pace was also a bit slow, especially slogging through the countryside. Additionally, the writing was good, and I plan to read the other books in the series.
