This is a multi-faceted story with so many converging character arcs. I can’t wait to see how all these different characters culminate at the end. So far, things seem plausible. I like the emotional developments as the characters face trials. The story could use more detail in describing survival techniques. Example: using the material found in a car for insulation against cold or to start a fire.
It always scary what humans can do to other humans. I am always aware of the lines that are present in each person, dividing the same or the insane. I just truly hope and pray that this will remain a state of fiction. I like the story and also Matt best battle raps, and his parody. Keep up the good work! Thank you! I can’t wait for the next book!
I’m sure there are more eloquent book reviewers than I, but I’ll add my $0.02 anyway. This series came to my attention via an Instagram ad. Book 1 seemed interesting so I downloaded it and started reading. Thoroughly enjoyed the world that the authors built (or technically destroyed, not ‘built’) though I feel perverse for saying I enjoyed it. Book 2 was well written, but a bit of a slog as the characters weren’t people one can easily identify with. This book gets back to what made Book 1 so good… average people and what they have to deal with post-collapse, the kind of scenarios any one of us could easily find ourselves in if the world had a bad day.
