A review by seyahrue
The Boy on the Bridge by M.R. Carey

5.0

It’s been a year since I read The Girl with All the Gifts so the ending took me a minute to understand, but the bringing together both books worked so well! It warmed my heart a little to see Melanie and Miss Justineau right at the end.

This was a really great book and I’m so glad I decided to listen to it - I was a little reluctant at first because I enjoy TGWATG to much and I didn’t know if this could live up to it, but it was a really interesting prequel. I loved most of the characters and it was great to see the beginning of the second wave Hungries and how they were discovered.

I’d definitely recommend this book if you’ve read the first one - You don’t necessarily have to have read TGWATG before hand, but the epilogue will have a lot more meaning behind it if you do
