The Darkest Minds is a book that I thoroughly enjoy on every reread. I originally watched the movie first and found the premise to be so cool that I had to read the book. I quickly got sucked into the lives of Ruby, Liam, Chubs, and Zu. Their found family dynamic is what originally sparked my love for the found family trope. Liam and Ruby's romance was also done very well, and though was quick didn't feel rushed.

The way that Clancy slowly is revealed to be the villain and that despite everything that happened they all became seperated and practically back to square one is devastating, but is essential to the story and characters.

To me everything about this book is amazing, and the only reason it's not 5 stars is because of the YA feel that it has, which is still appreciated most of the time.
