The cover for the last book in The 5th Wave series was revealed today and if you’re like us, you’re having a lot of feelings. You’re outrageously excited for it to come out in May, but not 100% sure what to expect. We advise remaining calm and reviewing what we know about THE LAST STAR based on Rick Yancey’s twitter feed:

Rick’s on his game.

You know it’s going well when you hit “save” every other sentence. #amwriting #5thWave #thelaststar

YES. I mean, given that this is the man who gave us The 5th Wave and The Infinite Sea, we already know we’re in for something incredible.

Ringer is still a badass.

“We bear the unbearable. We endure the unendurable. We do what must be done until we ourselves are undone.” Ringer. #TheLastStar #amwriting

But who is she talking to here?? What unbearable things are we in store for this time around??

Redemption is on its way.

“@Erin_Elise9: The Infinite Sea more like the infinite sea of mY TEARS THANKS RICK YANCEY.” Redemption is on its way. #TheLastStar #5thwave

Ugh YES, redemption is the BEST! Wait, who’s getting redeemed though? Because we have a list of potentials we’d like to submit…

Zombie gets real.

“Personally, I’d rather be shot a dozen times than have my heart torn in half.” Zombie. #TheLastStar

Oh Ben Parish, reminding us that we’re all still human. Are you referring to someone in particular though?

Bear is still present. We repeat: Bear. Is. Still. Present.

But how long will he be around…

Its length is still undisclosed.

.@RelicLord 3 words: the, last, star

Does that mean it could have an infinite amount of pages…and never end? **fingers crossed**

This might be the opening quote.

.@aquintaondabr Let no one despair, even though in the darkest night the last star of hope may disappear.
Schiller—Oberon. I. 27.

— Rick Yancey (@RickYancey) April 22, 2015

Wait seriously should we be reading in to this? How much? Note: must google “Schiller” and “Oberon.”

It has a song.

Folks ask if I make playlists for my books. Here’s The Last Star’s song. What’s your fav #5thwave flavored song?:https://t.co/DWijKt98s4

— Rick Yancey (@RickYancey) March 26, 2015

This is the song that reminds Rick Yancey of The Last Star. Excuse us while we listen to it on repeat until May 24th.

Some will rise…and some will fall.

Ringer. Zombie. Evan. Cassie. Sam … Who will rise when The Last Star appears? And who will fall? The end of the #5thwave is coming …

— Rick Yancey (@RickYancey) September 25, 2015

We’re not sure who, but we DO know that the end of The 5th Wave draws near and we’re prepared for epicness.
