Having really enjoyed book 1 of this, I was so looking forward to listening to this one. Well the author didn’t disappoint!! This one was much better than the first and even though it was over 13 hrs long, I devoured it in a day.
This starts straight after the ending of book 1 so the story flows really well and we are immediately drawn into the story. I absolutely loved seeing the characters again and seeing them grow and develop. Their lives don’t get any easier and their struggle to survive, not only the lack of essentials, but also the gangs, gets so much harder. Plus they end up meeting others and some of their groups grow. The overall plot is complex and engaging. The author has put layers in place and is slowly starting to unravel them and we are finally seeing glimpses of where it’s going.
This was so much better than the first and had much more action, plot development and intrigue and I can not wait to see where the characters and plot leads us! It’s a series that I have no problem in recommending and one that I know I will re-read.
Kevin Pierce seems to be the go to narrator for books of this type and it’s easy to see why. He is easy to listen to and knows how to tell a great story. He is always clear and concise and has a range of tones and cadences that bring the story to life.
