The 100 (The 100 #1) by Kass Morgan - Starting July 16th 2020

[Sarah Elizabeth]

No one has set foot on Earth in centuries—until now.

Ever since a devastating nuclear war, humanity has lived on spaceships far above Earth's radioactive surface. Now, one hundred juvenile delinquents—considered expendable by society—are being sent on a dangerous mission: to recolonize the planet. It could be their second chance at life...or it could be a suicide mission.

CLARKE was arrested for treason, though she's haunted by the memory of what she really did. WELLS, the chancellor's son, came to Earth for the girl he loves—but will she ever forgive him? Reckless BELLAMY fought his way onto the transport pod to protect his sister, the other half of the only pair of siblings in the universe. And GLASS managed to escape back onto the ship, only to find that life there is just as dangerous as she feared it would be on Earth.

Confronted with a savage land and haunted by secrets from their pasts, the hundred must fight to survive. They were never meant to be heroes, but they may be mankind's last hope.

Ch1-4 - (view spoiler)[Interesting concept! Sending 100 convicted child felons down to a toxic Earth instead of executing them... I’m assuming it’s partly for population control? They seem to be on a ship instead of a planet, and there seems to be more than one ship? But we only have the perspective from one ship. I hope there aren’t too many perspectives, as it can just be OTT sometimes..! (hide spoiler)]

Have you watched the show at all? I am very curious as I read to see how similar the two are.

Nope! Though that’s why I picked this up, because I’d heard of the show

89% - oops, I’ve kind of neglected this thread :/ (view spoiler)[who caused the fire? My first instinct was Octavia, as Bellamy said she “was gone”, but Clarke seems to be insinuating that it was Wells... On another note, Wells doesn’t seem like a nice guy. Yes, he’s better than Graham or even Bellamy, but he still seems entitled and just a bit annoying!
I’m confused as to why we are still getting Glass chapters, she’s not even on Earth! It just makes it harder to invest in the characters as there are so many! And the book isn’t very long... (hide spoiler)]

[Krystal]

So have I, so sorry!! I'm so behind on a lot of books. But the show is really good!! I'm behind many seasons but I think I've watched 1-3.

Finished

[Krystal]

20% (view spoiler)[ So far this book is interesting but way too many points of views. I know things will probably get more terrifying for them as they begin their lives on earth. (hide spoiler)]

I definitely agree with you! The multiple points of views made it hard for me to get into it! It’s good when you push through though!

[Krystal]

33% (view spoiler)[ I am enjoying Glass' story as I don't remember that one from the show. Definitely want to know what she did for Cora to make her confined. (hide spoiler)]

[Krystal]

60% (view spoiler)[ I wonder who took those meds! I don't think it was Octavia. (hide spoiler)]

[Krystal]

Finished. (view spoiler)[ Good lord, everyone’s stories were just chopped off! I really hope Glass and them find a way to survive or get off the ship. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ The Glass chapters were actually my favorite. She definitely went through a lot and had a lot taken away from her. Yes, way too short! (hide spoiler)]
