the sequel to Hollowland....
After six months in the quarantine, Remy finds out things are much worse than she feared. Her plans to escape come with a heavy cost, and she realizes that zombies aren't the worst of her problems.
I have never hated a book because of the direction the author took a story in. Sometimes I don’t like the story, but I always respect it. Not here not now. (OK, I’m kidding a little. I didn’t HATE it, but I was really, really unhappy.) You see, my favorite part about the first one was the cast of characters. I loved them all so much. Guess which characters stick around in this book besides Remy. Guess, seriously.
Ripley.
That’s it.
And that’s why I’m so angry.
I came to like all the new characters a lot. I really did. But I wanted the OLD ONES! I wanted Blue, and Lazlo, and Harlow! I’m not going to tell you where they are, of course, because that would spoil everything, but I am going to tell you that they are not there!
Besides the new cast of characters nothing much has changed except the end goal. It’s still an adventure story. It mirrors the original quite a bit. But, besides the character differences, the adventure is MUCH better. It’s also a more mature book than the first one was.
I also really liked the ending. It’s… well, it’s a happier ending than the first one and wraps the little duology up very nicely. I think most readers will be happy with it.
Rating: 3/2 Stars
