Book Response: Fear

I finished reading 'Fear' yesterday, well, the ending was pretty great, I'm not going to lie; everything has changed, you can see through the barrier that has been blocking the view of the outside world for the past year. Some might think that this is a good thing, that it is now time to get out of the dome and not have the fear of starving every day, or even dying of dehydration. But in reality, its just making things worse, the kids are ignoring their different jobs, and instead, looking at the outside world, which means, that if they are getting food slower, they are going to starve faster.
Now the Gaiaphage, or Gaia as it is called now since it took over the body of a child, is walking free with all the powers of the FAYZ and plans on killing every human being alive.
Gaia is an interesting character, it is this almighty being that has the 2nd most power in the FAYZ,  and yet, while in the body of a child, it still has gaps in its knowledge of the world around it. Like something as simple as music, Gaia had no knowledge of it what so ever, to the point where it was even skeptical about it and wasn't sure if it should listen to it or not.

Although this all powerful entity can do just about anything that it wants to, it is still inside a human body, and its not one of those stories where the monster is trying to be freed, it wanted to be in the body, but that made it stronger, but also very weak. Now Gaia can be hurt, and it acts very much like a child.
