Fragmented -- Paragraphs? Critical Assessment? Weak sauce.

By Someone Who Did Not Supply a Byline

Fragments is the second book in the Partials series, and it only gets worse. The basic plot of the story is the main character meets this guy named Afa, who is mentally insane. Then she needs to find the cure for the expiration date that partials have. Then Kira and her friends travel through a toxic wasteland, and in doing so Afa dies. Eventually they get there and accomplish nothing. This entire book was pointless to the story. The only thing that happened was Kira got captured at the very end. I do not recommend this book to anyone.
