I have finally gotten around to reading this installment to the Newsflesh world. This book runs parallel to the first book in the original trilogy, Feed.
I absolutely love the original trilogy, they are up there on the list of favourite books ever. I have had this companion novel for a good while, and because I reread of the others, I thought it was a good idea to finally read this one!
I very much love this world, so being back in it, with fresh new chatacters made me happy. I loved the core group in this one. My favourite had to be Ash, she had me cracking up. She's badass and absolutely hilarious. Mat I absolutely adored, and they're most definitely on the list of fictional character I'd be besties with. Also... I absolutely love the diversity and representation in this book!!! *chef's kiss*
We had some deaths that broke my heart. One was a fave (I'm still not over it) and the other was someone who I wish we got to know more.
Storywise, it was pretty great, it was mostly a rehash of the first book but from another viewpoint. I liked that these characters, compared to the Masons, were the complete opposite, handling the story differently. It was a little repetitive at times but it was nice to see how it all lined up and connected. What deducted a star was how kinda rushed and flat the last part was. It wasn't bad, just didn't seem to follow the pace of the beginning of the book. Plus I didn't really like the Clive section. Action scenes were great though, Ash kicked arse!
Summary: Did I love this one as much as the original trilogy? No. Did I still enjoy it and have a good time? Yes!
I will need to check out Rise at some point to read all the novellas I've missed.
