The 5th Wave made us totally rethink everything we knew about aliens and the end of the world and then left us unable to function because of burning questions in our mind. Luckily, a bunch of them were answered in the sequel! Read on for 8 questions from The 5th Wave that The Infinite Sea answers:

Will any of the characters I hold near and dear…die?

Last but not least: are we human…or are we dancer?
