2.0

As a prequel novella, Chaos Rising aims to set the stage for the Edge of Collapse series, but it ultimately felt a little unnecessary. While it provides some background on the world before the EMP strike, I feel like the events that take place could have been covered at some point within the main series. The characters and events might hold more weight for those deeply invested in the series, but as a standalone or an introduction, it didn’t offer me anything particularly gripping.
