Honestly, I listened to this audiobook in the car but I don't think I ever really got completely into it. I don't know if it's because I've been so busy with Christmas and my mind was elsewhere or if it was just the book. Probably a little bit of both but it was so hard for me to follow. It was all ...

Okiee dokiee. I'm intentionally not going to go into any of the things I wrote in my review of the first book, Ashes. But just assume that pretty much everything I wrote there also applies here. Yay for setting and character. Boo for pacing and bad science. Good? Good. This book had some all new p...

By now most of my followers now I love young adult, I love series, and I love the Dystopian/apocalyptic series. I generally give positive reviews for them even if it wasn't my favorite book out there...I know there's someone out there that will love them. I just can't bring myself to do that for thi...

I was so sad that I couldn't get into this because I really liked Ashes. Why does the second book in a trilogy often fall short? I don't know, but it bugs me. It was the head hopping that got me with this one. The first book is told entirely from Alex's perspective. This book starts out with a littl...

This second book in the series picks up straight where the first one ended, and the story continues (unfortunately) much as in book one. There seem to be a lot of characters in this series, and even though i do think that it is written in a way where you feel you get to know the main characters well...

Alex has escaped from Rule – but what new horrors face her in the ravaged world outside? Tom is safe – but what will he risk to find Alex? Chris – how much does he really know about the terrible darkness of Rule? And what are his true feelings for Alex? Ellie – where is she? Yes indeed. All que...

I really love this series in a way that I don't wholly and unreservedly love most books. I loved it at first because of its heroine, Alex, who is (that dreaded phrase) a "strong female character". And she is, but she's more than that - she's a whole person, one who even in hopeless circumstances r...

Bick delivers another gory action packed book.I'm glad I had Ashes fresh into my mind going into this. There were so many different POV and things happening that if I hadn't of read Shadows straight away, I could of found it confusing. Shadows picks up where Ashes left off Alex has escaped Rule but ...

Though my feelings for ASHES were conflicted, SHADOWS is where things really kicked into high gear. Everything I had assumed gave way to greater depths of nuance and politics and guile. Nothing is as I assumed, not the Changed, not Rule, not Alex and her abilities. As with I AM LEGEND, the lines ...
