Review

I don’t normally read a lot of dystopian type books, but this is the follow up to The End of All Things which I really enjoyed so I had to see how the story continued. Justin and Carly are raising their daughter Dagney in the town of Colby. The town has shut itself off from the rest of the world as much as it can to prevent The Infection from hitting them again. (sort of reminded me of that TV show Jericho from a few years back). They are dealing with normal issues – trying to grow enough food for the town, protect themselves from outsiders and try to have as normal a life as possible.

There were many parts of the book where I was on the edge of my seat wondering how the scene would play out. They have normal issues like any of us would have despite their situation. I like Carly’s optimism and Justin’s reality and they somehow make it work in the town.

The book ended with something of a cliffhanger so I’m hoping that means this is a trilogy and there will be a third book to wrap everything up. We don’t know what is happening across the globe or how many people are still alive. Plus there are some scenes in the book that demand further explanation that tie to Justin’s military background and even Carly’s father.

We give this book 5 paws and cannot wait for book 3!
