A review by joyfulfoodie
Dark Days by Manel Loureiro
4.0
I loved the first book, and was really excited to see that the second had been translated. I prefered the style of the first book over that of the second, but it still had some surprises are interesting twists. The first few chapters I was disappointed at the style departure. Book 1 was all blog and paper journal style. Book 2 jumps point of view a lot before settling into a pattern at about 40% through. From there I didn't want to put it down. But in the first few chapters you read from the point of view of...
1) a lizard (or a rock next to a lizard, or something)
2) third person omniscient to summarize book 1
3) protagonist
4) zombie
5) random guy we've never met before
Then it switches back and forth between just two points of view for MOST of the rest of the book. Which is easier to enjoy.
Its all very readable, it follows the world already created pretty well. A few things are very expected and kind of trite, but there are some loops and twists to keep things good. I'll definitely read the third and fourth books when they get translated!
