Yesterday's Gone: Season One
by Sean Platt, David W. Wright
I am a little bit disillusioned by this. It started reasonably promisingly with a man who woke up to find his wife and son missing. Indeed, most of the world has gone missing. There are some survivors, however, and they gather together in groups and various things happen. Pretty much standard for this kind of thing.
My problem lies in the episodic format more than anything. I listened to this from Audible, and the ending is perhaps one of the more annoying endings I've encountered for a book. This entire release is characters moving from one place to another. Literally nothing is resolved as part of this. Nothing at all. And it has the gall to end on a cliffhanger.
I struggled with Luca's chapters a lot. I didn't like him. I still don't like him, and I know almost nothing about him. I feel bad for Brent and the random people he's suddenly with. I suspect Edward is more than he lets on. Mary and Paola are interesting but they don't really do anything. Dog Vader dies. Perhaps the most interesting plot line was that of Charlie, Bob, Callie and Boricio. The trouble is, that plot line wasn't resolved in the slightest.
I almost resent the sheer number of things that haven't been wrapped up in this release. I realise it's some episodic thing (I have no idea why), but the first six have been cobbled together into a release entitled season 1. If this was on television, I would be very annoyed if I had to sit through it, learning very little, and then wait a year to find out anything at all.
I haven't decided if I'll bother with the other stories in this series.
