Dust & Decay by Jonathan Maberry
3.0
After reading [b:Rot & Ruin|7157310|Rot & Ruin (Rot & Ruin, #1)|Jonathan Maberry|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1264898635l/7157310._SX50_.jpg|7443037] I was optimistic about what the later books in this series would be like but I didn't have any kind of deep connection to the characters or their story. I had no desire to rush out and get Dust & Decay, and I had no ache in my chest when I closed the book. It was good but it wasn't phenomenal.
Dust & Decay was like Rot & Ruin 2.0, New and Improved. Some of the major questions that we had were answered but there were still plenty of plot lines left wide open for the next book. I do think some of the secondary characters introduced were unnecessary and not fleshed out properly but I think the author was afraid to spend any more time on them and potentially overwhelm the story.
The biggest disappointment in this book was the fact that I didn't feel any strong emotion during a major scene towards the end of the book but I felt plenty of catharsis at other points in the novel.
