ermartinez 's review for:
In the After
by Demitria Lunetta
Actual rating- 4.5
I will start my "review" by disclaiming that this book has massive similarities to "The 5th Wave." They both follow a female teen protagonist who survives an alien invasion/apocalypse, is driving to survive because of their responsibility for a child, and end up in a "new, safe" society that is supposed to save the human race.
That being said, I enjoyed In the After SO much more. I felt like this book explored more serious themes such as personal security and liberty, betrayal, survival, etc. Amy, the female protagonist, was much more believable and strong. In addition- there's no romance!!! I loved that she was strong on her own and had a very clear sense of truth vs. fabrication, etc. I cannot wait for the rest of this series to be written and released.
