Rot & Ruin
by Jonathan Maberry
This is a re-read for me but I read it when I was 12 so it was basically fresh.
How this series did not get as much attention as some of the other post apocalyptic teen novels I have no idea. The lore is fascinating, the action is well written, and just the plot in general is a page turner. I will say some parts like the romance aspects of it (as a child and as adult) do frustrate me a little bit which is why it’s 4 and not 5 stars. I could do without a romance in books sometimes HOWEVER I do appreciate that the romance wasn’t an A plot or even a B plot it was like the C or D plot.
If you liked any of the YA dystopian/post apocalyptic novels like The Hunger Games, The Giver, Divergent, etc you’ll definitely love this.
It was a good book to get me out of a week long reading slump as well!
Overall I think this book has great plot, good characters that are complex and interesting, and while some aspects could be improved I think for what this book is (a YA novel) it’s doing its job and I think any teen/young adult who likes to read would be interested in this novel (and the series).
