1) There will most likely be a fight between Cassie and Ringer. Even at the end of the first book, Cassie had some animosity towards her.
Confirmed. Cassie and Ringer aren't exactly best friends and also had several fights.
2) The mother-ship left towards a larger base that will end up being a huge factor in this book. Either that or they are deploying the rest of the kids in crucial areas.
Partially true. The bomb kids were a factor and there were other bases/Camp Havens.
3) There will be a sixth wave, possibly on a global scale. Based on the title and cover art, I feel like water (duh) may be involved, although as stated in my previous posts, the "infinite sea" could be a metaphor. But for example, the Others could heat up the atmosphere and melt all of the polar ice caps. This could be catastrophic for the crew (Cassie, Ben, Ringer, Sammy, Dumbo ect.). Not only would this once again increase the sea level, but temperatures would also rise.
Wrong.
4) Evan will return changed. Much like the Hunger Games, I feel like Evan could be comparable to Peeta and *SPOILER ALERT* may actually be turned against the "good" side, much like how Peeta was brainwashed in Mockingjay. I don't really have any evidence to support this but it is sort of a gut feeling I have.
Wrong. Although he did return so there's that.
5) We will learn more about the Others. So much about them is currently unknown and I think we all are hoping for some answers.
Yes. We learned more about their motives and purpose here. We also learned more about the pasts of Evan and other sleeper agents.
6) There are other species of aliens involved. Also another gut instinct. Based on my experience with books of this nature, the antagonists generally are not working alone and this usually comes as a shock to the protagonists. The antagonists are part of a larger picture.
Wrong. But not ruled out entirely.
7) The book will end on a cliffhanger. If this series ends up as a trilogy, the second installment usually ends on a massive, point-of-no-return cliffhanger.
Eh. I wouldn't call it massive but yeah there was a cliff hanger.
8) Sammy turns against Cassie. Another gut instinct. He will put more of his trust in Ben or Ringer.
Confirmed. Sammy doesn't seem as attached to Cassie anymore and sometimes I think his loyalties lied with Zombie.
9) Another member of the crew will die. My money is on Poundcake. However, before he passes, I think we will find out a bit more about his past.
Absolutely true. And what a back story that was. I wonder, which came first in Yancey's mind? Poundcake's name or his back story?
10) The crew will find another group of survivors, real survivors.
Eh, not really. Although other survivors were mentioned, the group had no real interaction with them.
So that's it! 50% accuracy? I would call that decent.
