Mild spoilers
ahead!
My rating: 6/10
This second installment
was so much better than the first one, yay! Numbers: the Chaos follows
Adam, the son of main protagonist of the first book, as well as a new character
Sarah and how their worlds collide.
Basically, a lot of
shit ensues, as Sarah fights for the life of her daughter and is on the run
from her home. This book definitely also takes a much darker turn – which is
quite surprising since I already though the first book was quite dark. Sarah’s familial
situation, as well as the circumstances of her pregnancy were both incredibly
creepy and dark.
The ending of the book
was quite shocking as well, and really shakes the foundations of the laws of the
numbers that Adam sees. I’m not entirely sure exactly what went down at the
end, but it seems like perhaps people are able to “switch” numbers, perhaps
willingly or perhaps it’s just a way for the universe to balance out the whole “life
for a death” principle.
