Watch It Burn by Peri Dwyer Worrell
4.0
I did not find this book quite as engaging as the first, it is still well written and the story a great twist on most post apocalyptic books. However for me it didn't really gel, too many different groups to keep track of and for the most part completely unrelated in their stories.
It was good to continue to follow the lives of the characters introduced in book one and I feel that was all that was needed, there were too many extra inclusions that didn't think added anything to the book. Some of the new story lines were worth having, the introduction of an African influence and the desperate attempts of a failed goverment trying to claw back it's lost power had their place.
It was sad to discover this totally survivable event still ended in many deaths but not from the virus itself. True to human nature, instead of working together to survive many chose the way of survival of the fittest.
This book is still well worth reading and I look forward to seeing where the third book takes us - I have a horrible feeling that as suggested in this book we will be seeing one barbaric way of life replaced by another.
