Does zane really die in the uglies series?

Answer 1

Yes. I recently just finished the Specials. Tally pushes Zane away because she thinks (with her special mind) that Zane isn't good enough for her.

When she Finally "cures" herself she realizes that Zane was always perfect for her and that she loves him. So while shes in the hospital (while a war is going on) they here the beeping of a life support machine. Shay tried to tell Tally to stay away but Tally already knew that it was Zane. There were doctors trying to help Zane but it was too late. At first the doctors were hesitant to let Tally see Zane but eventually they gave in and let her see him. Tally describes seeing him with her "special sight" and how his face is paler than normal and his lips a tint of blue, she said she knew he was dead. Tally whispers, "I'm sorry." to Zane because she knows its her fault hes dead. she causes the war which led to the lack of doctors in the hospital. not to mention she dragged Zane out to the New Smoke for her own selfish reasons, she wanted him to be a special with her.

Answer 2

Yes, Zane dies in the Uglies series. He sacrifices himself to save Tally and stop the Specials from capturing her. His death has a significant impact on Tally and the storyline of the series.
