3.5The beginning of this book reads pretty slowly as the world is built. The world is complex and dark, which I loved, but listening to the audiobook when I was tired meant that I didn't always pay attention, and many times I opted to listen to the radio when I was too tired to pay attention to the...
I have been warned about this book many times—that it wasn’t what you would expect it to be, that though the synopsis is well worded, it the story doesn’t hold well up to its promise. I, of course, am a very curious fellow, and ignored all the warnings around me—I’m often hated by my mother for that...

The ruined buildings and rising waters do an excellent job of introducing the reader to the ruined world that Jo Treggiari has created for her characters. I was a little disappointed at the por...
Das Ende ist auch ein neuer Anfang Nachdem ich so viele schlechte Rezensionen über dieses Buch gelesen hatte, war ich überrascht, wie gut ich mit dem Roman klar kam.

An interesting post-apocalyptic story. ASHES didn't manage to supplant ENCLAVE or AFTERTIME at the top of my list, but Lucy's solitary survival was vivid and memorable.
As dystopian/post-apocalyptic novels go, this one left me a little wanting. The world-building and imagery were phenomenal, but I felt that the back-story was somewhat lacking, and so the whole thing seemed a little empty. If I knew that this was part of a series, that could be explained away in f...
