I love how their relationship develops in this book. Both Noah and Mara are complicated, and each has their own psychological issues. We learn a lot more about him in this story, and find out that he is not just a hot bad boy with a british accent. Noah is really Mara's only link to her sanity in Evolution. He will do anything for Mara. The only person that she can confide in throughout this book is Noah. I felt Mara's madness creeping in as she comes to the overwhelming realization that she can't do anything to stop what is happening. But it was very effectively done, and I applaud Michelle Hodkin for affecting my emotions so well. I don't like the feeling of being out of control, so it was unsettling and frightening to read everything Mara faces in Evolution. In Evolution her distress increases and morphs into feelings of complete powerlessness, lack of control and acute fear. In Unbecoming Mara was confused and disoriented, questioning whether she had a supernatural ability or if it was all in her head. Thus begins a book that I would like to re-title "Mara Dyer's descent into madness." Mara's family is understandably freaked out about the state of her mental sanity, and Mara quickly learns that there's no way they'd ever believe what she's certain is the truth. Apparently it wasn't good because she is now on her way to being committed to a psychiatric facility for claiming that Jude is still alive and that she can kill people with her mind. In The Evolution of Mara Dyer, Mara wakes up in a psych ward having no knowledge of what happened after she saw Jude. That she sees Jude, the boy who assaulted her in the asylum and whom is She can make peopleĭie just by thinking about it, after all. My thoughts contain SPOILERS for book one.ĭyer, Mara goes to the police station to turn herself into theĪuthorities, because she thinks she’s a danger to society. The Evolution of Mara Dyer is book two in the Mara Dyer series.
