3.5 stars.
This series is starting to grow on me. Season One was good. It it gets better with Season Two. I liked that there was action. Also, that the authors aren't afraid to kill off main characters. Although I wished two of the characters killed off had lived. The issues I had with it were small. But, would have made the book a little better to me. The Rei character could have been dealt with better. When characters have misgivings, why not go with them? Boricio is a character that I have mixed feelings about. But at any rate, that cliffhanger ending has me scrambling to get Season Three....

Another thrilling season, great fun adventure and the usual cliff hangars all over the place keep you reading non stop. I enjoyed this one as much as the first season, let's hope it maintains the high standards for the next season...

I don't want to say too much about this second season Yesterday's Gone, because this whole series is better the less you know about it. I'll just reiterate what I said about the first season: It's basically The Stand meets LOST meets Left Behind. It's ridiculously addictive, and filled with YOU-DID-NOT-JUST-DO-THAT moments. While it may take a little longer to really get going than Season One, Season Two is definitely a great continuation of the series. I will be picking up Season Three very soon because there are some insane cliffhangers here.

Wow ...
In my review for season one I used the graphic alone but now I wished I would have saved it for this one!
I think I'll share anyway because THIS
is exactly how I feel right now!
Like... WHAT just happened?
The ending to this one left me in shock but let me first delve a bit into the review prior to this crazy ending.
All the great characters are back! Bericio! Lucka, Mary, Paulo! There are so many that I wanted to hear about again and they are here. That doesnt' necessarily make it a good thing though because the world is even worse than it was in season 1. This one starts right where season 1 starts off too. At craziness!
One thing I have to commend is the audio. This is narrated by a great cast of people, all of who have to imbibe different voices for different scenes and they do a magnificent job!
The only downside to so many narrators are the issues with keeping the voices separate. They read chapters at a time, not different voices. So I got used to Bericio's voice but he came up in other narrator's chapters as well. Not a bad thing, just A thing. Over all the narration and the full audio was outstanding and I thoroughly enjoyed being pulled into the second part of this story. The portions with music were intense and the music added perfectly to that intensity. Especially at the end!
The plot of the book had its highs and lows but for the most part this kept up with the very fast pace of season one. I didn't love Lucka's chapters but appreciate getting into the boy's head. They seem like they are written to and from a younger child but I'm guessing this is just the great writing as we are supposed to be reading what a young boy would be thinking and feeling.
The amount of characters is the only downside but for the most part I was able to keep those characters in check. I think it can almost be harder when listening to an audio to keep so many characters straight but the characterization of each is very well done.
And if I could just bring up the end again... Just wow. See Jon Stewart from above!!! Cannot wait to listen to the next season.

In short: Amazingly well done book with great audio! Great for a book two. Some high's and low's but overall wonderful.

Can't believe how much I enjoyed this! I felt season 1 did not consistently deliver enough compelling action but the storyline was interesting enough to cause me to read season 2. My patience was rewarded exponentially! Season 2 brought seemingly nonstop action. I felt a connection to the characters that I didn't feel in season 1. The events experienced by the Drury group truly had me on an emotional roller coaster throughout the season. And as for Boricio....well what can I say. What a unique character. Season 2 is everything I expect from a post apocalyptic novel. Bring on season 3!
