Dawn of Eden by Julie Kagawa - 4 stars

In my review of The Immortal Rules, I complained rather loudly about the lack of backstory and the incomplete worldbuilding. With Dawn of Eden, Kagawa elegantly took care of that little problem and gave us a story that is informative (a foundation for this series, I’d say), at times terrifying, but also very human and warm.

Although it describes the apocalypse, Dawn of Eden has a strong underlying message of hope that cannot be ignored. Some of the horrors p...more

*No spoilers.

★★★★☆ for Kagawa's Dawn of Eden only.

Well, that was unexpected. I thought this story would focus on the main characters of Kagawa's The Immortal Rules . Instead, it's a different set of characters and their story of the beginning of the apocalypse.

I thought this was creepy as hell. Kagawa's "vamps" are not your everyday vamps. They're more like rage zombs and I LOVE rage zombs. (In film and on paper. -_- When the real zombie apocalypse happens, I want the zombs to be the slow, shuf...more

The Red Lung virus is leaving a path of destruction in its wake. As scientist race to find a cure, doctors like Kylie fight to save those those they can. Kylie and a handful of nurses have been struggling in a make-shift hospital. Ben Archer arrives with his wounded friend and we discover that things are about to get worse. Kagawa has this incredible gift for drawing the reader in and immersing you into the tale. I adored Ben and Kylie and felt their relationship was genuine. The tale that unfolds is both terrifying and breathtakingly beautiful. I abso- freakin-loutely loved this and cannot wait for the next book. 4.5 stars

Thistle & Thorne by Ann Aguirre take us into a world that has been altered by a catastrophic chemical spill. It is a dystopian world that feels eerily real, where the rich live in fortresses and the rest of the world called the Red Zone is ruled by thugs with guns, money and manpower. The mob man rules and those who want to survive pay for his protection. Mari Thistle lives with her two younger siblings in the home that they owned while their parents were alive. She has learned to be a thief to survive and feed her family. Mari is sent on a task to steal a box for the mob boss within the fortress; she fails and narrowly escapes with the help of Throne Goodman. She learns of a terrible plot by the greedy mob boss and joins forces with Throne. The tale was fascinating, and Aguirre brought the world to life. There is no romance but a friendship develops and we see growth from Mari. The characters were fascinating and we got glimpses of their depth but I would have preferred a full length version of this particular tale. 3.5 stars

Sun Storm by Karen Duvall- brings us a post-apocalyptic world where solar flares have destroyed the Earth and people die from exposure. We meet Sarah Daggot who has been chasing storms since she was a kid. When the solar flares hit, she survived and was transformed into a Kinetic. She is able to predict sun storms and gives advanced warning for others to take cover. She meets another Kinetic the smexy, mysterious Ian Matthews and things heat up. Conspiracies, an evil Federal Agent gone rogue and a prediction of an apocalyptic sun flare kept me turning the pages. The romance was sweet and while I had a strong enough sense of the world and plot, I wish it had been a full length novel. Sarah and Matthew together were kiss-ass and the ended felt rush as a novella. I would pick up another book by this author. 4 stars.

I never read anthologies, or short stories for that matter. Unless they have something to do with a bigger series. That's why I couldn't wait for 'Til The World Ends to come out, because it had a short prequel story on The Immortal Rules. Dawn of Eden might have been what pulled me in but the rest of the stories made me stick around. If I were to review each story in a paragraph or less this is what it would look like:

I haven't read any of Kagawa's works until this. I'm going to review the story itself and not going to touch on the fact that this is a prequel. I have to say, the story is disappointing. Kagawa disobeys the vital rule of "showing, not telling." She tells us so much about the characters and their motives and such, but doesn't allow her writing to show us. We can delve that Kylie is devoted to her patients and will do anything to save them by her ACTIONS, not from the author having to tell us the same thing over and over, serving absolutely NO dramatic function. Or any function. It's just annoying. "Hey reader, have you forgotten my character is wholly devoted to treating the sick? No? Let me repeat it for you. Again."
That, and DAWN OF EDEN is written in first person PAST tense, as if the protagonist is recollecting events and telling the story from memory, but it isn't written as such. I find this method distracting and unsuccessful. First person PRESENT tense would be much more successful for this story, so Kylie is telling the events as they happen instead of recollecting, but simultaneously NOT recollecting. It's distracting and feels unprofessional for a NYT Bestselling author.
As a side note, I found the romance between Kylie and Ben to be very contrived, forced, and a little too standard-issue YA for my taste. But maybe you're into that, that's ok, but if you like a realistic and charismatic romance, I wouldn't recommend this. "I'm so mad at Ben for [horrible thing he did], but WOW, is he hot or what? I can't be mad at this rugged, beautiful hunk of man. My whole life has fallen apart because of this guy, but wow, look at those muscles..."
Well. Anyway. At least the action scenes are pretty fun and horrific, and I'm always going to have a special place in my heart for apocalyptic books, but all in all I think this story is a disappointment. I hope the other two stories in the collection by other authors are better. (less)

Typically with novellas there’s not a great deal of backstory for the characters or world, the short page length requiring the action to take place and the relationships to form more quickly, but to our utter delight, Ms. Kagawa’s contribution to this collection is the backstory itself. In it we get to experience the terrifying beginning of what will become the world of The Immortal Rules, the dark and bloody reality of the Red Lung virus depicted for us in gut-wrenching detail as humanity falls and the Rabids rise.

Though The Immortal Rules is a young adult series, albeit a gritty one, this prequel is perhaps more brutal and violent, and certainly more detailed on the romantic front, than The Immortal Rules, sliding it more firmly into the New Adult or adult category given its level of description. The relationship between Ben and Kylie is rich and layered despite the briefness of our time with them, their intimacy seeming to build slowly even though only days pass between their first meeting and a declaration of love, but even with such a short timeline Ms. Kagawa beautifully manages to give us a meaningful and genuine relationship – the birth of a love amidst the death of the world as we know it.

Rating: 4/5

THISTLE AND THORNE by Ann Aguirre
Ms. Aguirre adds a truly magnificent story to this anthology with "Thistle and Thorne", her uncanny ability to craft gorgeously complex characters used to its fullest with this all-too brief tale. Mari is a young woman who shows remarkable growth over the course of the story, her strength and desire to protect her brother and sister obvious from the beginning, but her time with Thorne molds her slowly but surely, adding layer after layer of steel to her already-existing armor coating. She’s a young woman who’s capable and deadly when necessary, yet she possesses none of the cockiness or swagger that typically accompanies abilities such as hers, instead recognizing her weaknesses and working around them to ensure she’s as effective a fighter, protector, and survivor as she can be.

Her relationship with Thorne is a fascinating contrast to what we saw expressed between Kylie and Ben in Ms. Kagawa’s story, the physical intimacy of the latter drastically different from the slightly strange (in the best way possible) and hesitant intimacy of the former. There’s hardly a touch exchanged between Mari and Thorne, but the air between them is thick with possibility and there’s a sense of unspoken understanding that gradually forms, building and strengthening until it becomes an almost physical caress we can feel down to our bones. The beauty of the promise between Mari and Thorne lingers in our hearts and minds long after reading, and it's my deepest wish and most sincere hope that Ms. Aguirre will see fit to return to this world at some point and explore their relationship further.

Rating: 5/5

SUN STORM by Karen Duvall
Though the bleak world depicted in the final novella of this anthology is as fascinating as the two that preceded it, inspiring in us the same thankfulness that our reality is–as of yet–still a far cry from the desperation and devastation portrayed page to page, the characters themselves pale a bit in comparison to our previous two couples. Sarah is a bit of an emotional cyclone, forming an opinion and passing judgment one minute only to spin 180 degrees the next, trusting Ian and then condemning him for his actions before quickly apologizing when her accusations prove false. Additionally, their feelings for one another form quickly and easily, which would be fine as Kylie and Ben’s did as well, but Sarah and Ian’s relationship lacks the poignancy we experienced just pages before with Ms. Kagawa’s and Ms. Aguirre’s contributions.

Overall "Sun Storm" is a quick and entertaining read, but it has the misfortune of following two stories where the characters shine brightly from the pages, illuminating their dark worlds with the beauty and strength of their radiance.

This is a prequel to the Blood of Eden series. It was a very good read.

In The Immortal Rules an important things happened when Zeke's group was at the Archer's. In this prequel Kanin appears for a short but important moment and that's the point where you understand the message of Dawn of Eden.

This story about The end of human dominance, the Red Lung virus, and the rise of the Rabid was as much a love story as a survival story. Kylie is working one of the few remaining medical clinics outside Washington DC when Ben Archer shows up with his injured friend Nathan. Nathan dies and turns rabid but, even worse, so do the other dying patients in the clinic. Kylie and Ben decide to flee to his family who lives in an isolated area. Ben had had a fight with his father and left home four years earlier never intending to go back. They fight various Rabids along the way and are even rescued by a vampire who plays a larger role in Blood of Eden. They reach Ben's farm and set out to make a life there.

Thistle & Thorne by Ann Aguirre—Mari Thorne is a thief in a world where the rich live in guarded compounds that protect them from the ruined wastelands outside. Mari is forced by the boss of her area to break into one of the compounds to steal an object he wants. However, she was given bad information and fails. She is helped to escape from the compound and finds herself in the company of one of the boss's soldiers who wants to overthrow him for reasons of his own. Since the boss wants to kill Mari for her failure, she teams up with Thorne even though she can't trust him. He is the best of bad options and might provide a way for her to survive and take care of her family. The story ends without being completely resolved. I wonder what Thorne will do as boss of the area. I wonder what will happen to Mari and her younger brother and sister.

Sun Storm by Karen Duvall—Solar flares have almost destroyed the Earth. No one can be out in the daylight and most technology is down. Some few people don't die from the sun fever but develop special powers. Sarah can foresee when the solar flares are coming and where the storm will be worst. Ian can control the weather. Their powers make them attractive to the unscrupulous and needed by the government who has a plan to stop the solar flares. But they need Sarah and Ian to make their plan succeed.

Generally speaking, I am not a big fan of novellas. Most of them leave me aching for more and feel unfinished to me. Kagawa's story did fill in some background for me since I have already read The Immortal Rules and the main characters were left in a situation that was dangerous but had a future. Aguirre's story was the one that left me wanting the most. I do not know if she has written more stories in this world but I know I need more. While the immediate problem was solved, the fates of the two main characters were left hanging. The final story was also came to enough resolution for me. The main problem was solved and the future was filled with possibilities for the main characters.

All of the stories were well-written and had engaging characters. Fans of novellas and fans of the authors will enjoy these. (less)

• 5 stars: Thistle & Thorne by Ann Aguirre: I really wish this one were a full-length novel, because there's tons of chemistry but no follow-through with the two main characters. Mari Thistle is a thief who gets caught up in a regime change. The person who drew her into this shift of power? Thorne Goodman, an enforcer for one of the most-feared men. The two have to work together to throw off the balance of power, but Mari and Thorne will discover how well they work together. An unpaid favor makes me hope we'll see more of these two.

• 3.5 Stars: Sun Storm by Karen Duvall: Sarah is one of the Kinetic. Sun storms that ravished Earth and still throw off sparks changed her DNA, giving her the power to predict where a storm will hit next. Ian Matthews can control the weather up to a point, but has a very bad man following him. The two will learn that they need to band together to save Earth, if they can survive.

Why you should read it: When anthologies are well done, they're by far my favorite books to read. You not only get prequels and half stories from favorite authors, but you discover new authors as well. Dystopian romance is one of my favorite genres, and Ann Aguirre does it the best. I really enjoyed all three stories, but I have to say Thistle & Thorne was my favorite. The chemistry and intensity that surrounded the two characters made them a treat to read about, and I definitely recommend reading any of her books. Julie Kagawa's story was also very enlightening, and her Blood of Eden series includes The Immortal Rules and The Eternity Cure. This is the first work I've read of Karen Duvall's, and I'll be putting more of her books in my queue.

Amid the fall, a pair come together to find an ever after (can't say how happy it will be in this dark and dangerous 'new' world) -- I have to say that I am sort of mixed on this story, but I am not actually all that fond of zombies or combining horror in with my romance and actually when the couple come together for some intimate time - with a stranger upstairs and zombies outside their door - it was a out of left field 'what the heck' moment for me. But I did actually get into to the last half of the story, so while the romance didn't really work for me this still ended up on the side of pretty good.

Thistle and Thorne - by Ann Aguirre - This is sort of slow to role, mostly due to the building of the post apocalyptic world, but Aguirre writes strong female characters, and her leading man is a mysterious 'knight' in not so shiny armor. This has just a mere hint of romance and it really felt like a prequel to a series, because when Thorne ride off into the sunset on his solar powered motorbike, there is a comment by that heroine that translates into "to be continued..."

Sun Storm - by Karen Duvall - I liked this one a lot, the world building is well done in a world that was ravaged by solar activity which also killed off a bunch of people and left some of the survivors fundamentally altered - think sort of X-men-ish mutant (solar fueled) powers. I liked both the leads, the heroine tries to keep a positive attitude in a world that is completely broken and the leading man is likable too, plus there's just a little bit of romance and the story feels very complete when the last page is turned.

Dawn of Eden - Julie Kagawa
This story is a prequel novella to Kagawa's Blood of Eden series, and honestly, it didn't encourage me to start the series anytime soon. I couldn't sympathize with the main characters, and I felt like their romance wasn't needed in the plot, either. However, I am curious about the strange man who helped them, who I'm pretty certain appears in the next books.

Thistle & Thorne - Ann Aguirre
Now this is the one that satisfied me. It's perfectly placed as the middle story, really, because it makes up for the first one and prepares for another trip downhill in the next story.

I loved the badass main characters, Mari and Thorne, who totally reminded me of Tris and Four from Divergent. And as short stories should, the action immediately kicked in and I found myself being unable to put this down.

Now, while I complained about the romance in Dawn of Eden (as I will in Sun Storm in just a little while), the romance in here felt like the cliffhanger—or maybe that's because I'm a sucker for badass romance. Anyway, that aspect made me wish this will get continued in a full-length novel!

Sun Storm - Karen Duvall
My liking for this one falls somewhere in the middle of the first two above. Sun Storm started out well, but the romance—slight insta-love, even—messed up the awesome equation.

I loved the idea of Kinetics a.k.a. the mutants brought about by the intensified sun rays, especially since I'm one of those who believe that the world will end when the sun does, and the deadly heat waves in this story are one of the signs of that death. And I also really just have a weakness for mutants. But something that I found unrealistic in this story was how only human skin was susceptible to the heat, not buildings or cars or even tents. Also, the more the government and other Kinetics got involved, the more confused I got. And I guess it says a lot that I struggled to read the last 10% of this story.

MY FAVORITE PART was the car/motorcycle (failing memory, sorry) chase in Thistle & Thorne.(less)

Dawn of Eden by Julie Kagawa
This story is the prequel to a new series by Kagawa, and it just felt slapped together. We open with civilization being destroyed by a deadly virus and our heroine trying to save a few survivors. Hero brings in a friend with an even deadlier version of the virus and when (view spoiler), let's just say that our heroine forgives hero way too quickly and then runs off with him. The action in this story jumps around a lot and I just wasn't buying the insta-love between the leads. An alliance born of desperation with maybe some lust thrown in? Perhaps, but riding off into the diseased sunset together, not so much. I'd grade this a C, maybe even C-.

Thistle & Thorne by Ann Aguirre
Now this was a good short story. As it opens,we learn that the world has turned into a place where those who can afford it have retreated into luxurious private complexes while everyone else is left eking out a precarious existence in violence-ridden slums. Snake Ward, the home of Mari Thistle, appears to be ruled primarily by a crazed warlord. Mari earns her living and supports her younger siblings by stealing and the warlord sends her into one of the complexes. The heist goes wrong and Mary is saved by Thorne Goodman. As it turns out, Thorne is on a mission to overthrow the warlord, and Mari ends up in on the plan with him. Even though there is little overt romance in this story, the potential is there and that potential adds just the right amount of tension to an already action-packed story. This one was a very good read, and gets a solid B+.

Sun Storm by Karen Duvall
In this story, sun storms have caused disease and environmental desolation. Exposure to the sparks thrown about by the sun storms has led to sickness has caused many to die, but in the case of a few, exposure to sun storms brings out abilities in them as they become Kinetics. I this story, the heroine is a Kinetic who can predict sun storms and so she chases them and warns people in their path. The action kicks up when she meets another mysterious Kinetic named Ian Matthews, who obviously has some ability to control weather. There were a few points in the story that just didn't seem to make a lot of sense (like the bit with the heroine's "sun addiction" and breaking same), but overall I basically liked this one. I'd give it a B-.(less)

This is a dystopian anthology by 3 talented authors. I'll review each story, but give only one rating as a whole.

Dawn of Eden (Blood of Eden #.05) by Julie Kagawa

In this story we are given the prequel to Immortal Rules. This tale pulls together 2 different characters than who we meet in the first novel. So, there is no problem reading this one after the first. In this book Kylie and Ben meet up through a friend that has been bitten. Ben is reluctant to tell Kylie what has happened and in fact knows a bit more about the zombie like vampires preying on non-infected people. We know some of what is going on through the first novel and it pretty much stays on track with this one.

I do have to say I was a bit surprised by this story. I reads a bit more adult with a much more graphic scene of sex than we usually get with YA. In fact, I would have considered this prequel adult and had I read it before the novel, I would have thought the whole series was adult and not YA. Still, it works for this story. I do have to admit, I wasn't completely drawn into the romance between the two characters, but was not unconvinced either. Extreme circumstances can heighten emotions, but it just seemed that they needed more down time to really get to know each other to claim each other in a forever way. Still, it was an interesting addition to the series.

Thistle and Thorne by Anne Aguirre

I have to admit this was my favorite of the 3. Mari is someone of skill and can kick ass when needed. Strong female protagonist? Oh yea, you know I loved that. She meets up with Thorne after a robbery gone all kinds of wrong. He saves her but uses her for his end game. However, since their end games meet up by destroying the bad guy who is in charge goes along with Thorne. Perhaps she even steals his heart, but we are never certain.

I really enjoyed Mari. A bit of an optimist despite the circumstances, you really have to admire how she takes care of her siblings and close friends. She has become a reluctant leader in her area and this adventure will destroy her ability to be covert. So, when the ending of unanswered questions happens, I admit I wanted to start tweeting Anne Aguirre and begging her to finish it or give me a novel of these characters! Don't leave me like this!! Think that would work? ;)

Sun Storm by Karen Duvall

With this story you will have to suspend things you know with the world she has created. The sun creates storms and has baked the world. How people survived such harsh conditions has me baffled (especially the frail and infirm)... but then suspension of belief comes in so I can go on with the story.

I also have to say that I didn't completely buy the romance in this one, but it had it's sweet moments. I think if it was longer it would have been easier for me to see the two become inseparable, but that is sometimes the problem with short stories. You have so much to share in such little space. Still, it was an interesting concept even if the ending was a bit contrived. Perhaps this would have been better at novel length.

In all I give this anthology 3 1/2 stars. If you want to get your dystopian on, this might just fit the bill. Although the situations are bleak, you will find the light within each of these stories.(less)

I have loved her book, The Immortal Rules, ever since it came out this April. This story is a prequel to it. And it's all kinds of amazing. Not as good as the long book, but it's still amazing and is a great read. I enjoyed the writing a lot, like I always do with Julie's work. I also liked the characters a whole lot. And yeah. The plot is beyond amazing. It's unique and special. And so well done.

Dawn of Eden is about Kylie and Ben. Kylie is a doctor, working at this clinic just months after the Red Lung virus started to spread. A lot of people are already dead. She's working with a few other people, trying to keep sick people healthy. It isn't going very well, though. Since most of earth is dying away. And ah. This sickness is kind of awful and all kinds of fascinating. I enjoy reading about it so much, which I probably shouldn't, lol :)

Suddenly this guy shows up at her clinic, with his sick friend. Kylie stitch them both up, but it's not going well for the hurt guy, Nathan. We also get to know Ben a bit. He does seem so great. A bit tortured, but I liked that a lot ;) If you have read The Immortal Rules, you probably know what happens next. But I will share it, still. Something awful is happning to Nathan. Suddenly he's dead, and he's smelling so bad, so fast. And then he wakes up. Changed. White eyes, sunken skin. He kills one of the people working with Kylie. And it's kind of awful but also so amazing. I might be a fan of a lot of death and blood. Which there is in this.

This is where we get to know about the Rabids. I loved reading about them so much in The Immortal Rules, and I loved reading about them in this one as well. They are an amazing plot twist. We don't really see any vampires in this book, but that's okay. I loved reading about Kylie and Ben. They make a great couple. Some might call it insta-love or whatever, but I felt like it could happen like that with anyone. I loved it a lot. I kind of thought this would be a YA book, but it wasn't. And that was amazing.

I don't really read Adult books, but I knew I needed to read this one because of my love for The Immortal Rules. And I'm so glad I did. The plot is amazing. Won't spoil more of it. Just that we get more of the Rabids. And we even get to see Kanin a bit! Ahh. Which was totally awesome, to be honest. But yeah. This book is amazing. Exciting and sweet. There is some steamy romance, and I liked it a lot. This is a must read for every fan of The Immortal Rules. Think you must read it either way, though :)

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Harlequin for the chance to read and review this book early. <3 There is three stories in this book. But I only read the first one, Dawn of Eden, which is about 130 pages long. Maybe I'll read the others at a later time, but not yet. I'm very happy with this story, though. And I cannot wait to read more by Julie. Super excited for the second book, The Eternity Cure. <3(less)

Dawn of Eden by Julie Kagawa
This is the story of what happened during the Red Lung. The virus that was destroying humans everyone. It is the time when everything is bad but then it soon turns a whole lot worse. Kylie is a doctor who has survived the Red Lung and has some helping running a clinic. She hardly ever sleeps but keeps pushing on hoping for a miracle. When two new people arrive at the clinic she realizes one of them is hiding something. Ben keeps trying to get her to leave and warning her that she is in danger. She soon realizes that the people she thought of as dead are changing and Ben may know why. Now they are on the run fighting for their survival.

I love The Immortal Rules and this is the prequel to that book. It is awesome to get to see just how everything got started and you get to see everything was already going down before the world changed. Kylie is a fascinating character. She shows such amazing strength in this book. Ben even tho he has secrets you can tell he is a good guy and really to me just seemed like a good old boy with more smarts than he shows. You also get to see Ben's family which if you have read The Immortal Rules you will be sure to recognize the place they are from. You also get to see some familiar faces that add a great touch to the story. Even if you have not read The Immortal Rules pick this up as it is a wonderful story.

Thistle & Thorne by Ann Aguirre
Mari Thistle does whatever she can to survive and keep her siblings safe in a world that has been turned into a chemical wasteland. She does job no one else will do but soon someone wants to put a stop to her. Thorne Goodman is a thug and only out for hisself. For some reason when he is told to bring in Mari he does the opposite and goes on the run with her. He has some motives of his own tho he wants to take down the boss running things and he just may need Mari's help doing so.

I love love love this story. It is so wonderful and I really hope to get to see more of this world. The author create one in this short story that leaves you begging for more. Mari does what she has to do to help her family even when that may hurt her. You have to like that she is that devoted. Thorne offers to help her and unlike some books she doesn't instantly trust him. They each earn each others trust. Great no stupid girl you get in some books. Thorne is tough and for the most part that is all you get to see. A few time you get to see the soft vulnerable side and that just makes him a better character for it. They both face being killed
constantly and the action never stops. You have a bad guy who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. He doesn't care who he kills to do so. I love reading this cause you get so caught up in it. There is attraction between Mari and Thorne but neither act on it. You in a way want them to hook up but they both would rather put other things before themselves. Wonderful change to were it isn't about love it is about doing what is right. I do hope there is more books to this story so I can see what happens next.

Sun Storm by Karen Duvall
The world has been changed forever do to sun flares. Everything is different and some people have changed cause of the flares. They have powers. Sarah can predict storms and now may have people after her who want to use her power. She finds this out with the arrival of Ian. He has a power of his own and is being hunted for it. Together these two may hold the key to healing the earth or destroying it. They just have to figure out who to trust to do it.

Out of the three stories this is my least favorite. I just couldn't get into the characters and couldn't get into the story. The plot has a great idea a solar flare has destroyed most things on earth and changed people. They normal ones are still in danger if they get caught in solar flares they could go insane, die or be burned. It just fell flat for me. The two main characters just didn't do much to keep my attention or where that impressive. I think what this needed was a better bad guy or more powers other people had showed more. That really would have kicked it up. It is still a decent read just not my favorite.

I recommend anyone who loves a dystopion or even a paranormal book to pick this up. Two of the stories I really loved and the third was ok. I look froward to reading the next The Immortal Rules book and more books by Ann Aguirre. They both write such wonderful stories.(less)

'Til the World Ends collects three dystopian/end-of-the-world scenarios, all in very different, yet sufficiently dark and terrible worlds. Here are my thoughts on the individual stories:

Dawn of Eden: This story tells the beginnings of the Red Lung disease that shapes the post-apocalyptic universe of The Immortal Rules. It's an engaging story -- I found myself staying up way later than usual to read it -- and very fast paced, as Kylie, a young doctor struggling to keep her patients and staff safe, faces down the newest horrific challenge associated with Red Lung. She's someone who is used to being tough and calling the shots in her clinic, so not being in control of what's happening is clearly rough on her. Even though things escalated quickly between Kylie and Ben, their relationship makes sense - it's kind of instalove, but I also feel like, hey, it's the end of the world, you find happiness where you can. (I was still annoyed at how quickly they went from annoyance to crushes to I-love-you-forever, but whatever.) Overall, "Dawn of Eden" is a strong story which ratchets up the fear and horror of the situation, gives backstory on the universe, and throws a few little tidbits out to astute readers to help connect the story to The Immortal Rules. This story will still work for people who haven't read the source novel, as enough details are explained that it should still make sense. Please note that even though The Immortal Rules is YA, this short story is not! Aside from lots of scary, graphic violence and cursing, there's a pretty descriptive sex scene, so be aware of that.

Thistle & Thorne: Shamefully, this is the first story I've read by Ann Aguirre, although her other novels have been on my TBR list for a while. After reading "Thistle & Thorne", however, I'll definitely be bumping her stuff up on the list! This story takes place in a world decimated by chemical spills and earthquakes, where the super-wealthy have walled themselves up in fortresses and left everyone else to suffer. Our main character is Mari Thistle, who is dealing with fallout from a theft gone wrong; she has to team up with Thorne, a local tough guy sort who has an agenda of his own. I loved Mari as a main character -- she is tough and resourceful and doesn't let her feelings or insecurities get in the way of getting the job done. She knows how to be just what Thorne needs so that they can work together and then get back to their own respective lives. I loved the world that Aguirre created and if she ever writes any more books about Mari or Thorne, or the Red Zone in general, I am so there! This story includes a lot of graphic violence (both real and threatened) and cursing, but no sexual content.

Sun Storm: I did not enjoy "Sun Storm" as much as I liked the other two stories. It started out promising but by the end, I was making Grumpy Cat faces. This story exists in a world where sun storms have destroyed much of the earth, and people get Sun Fever from exposure, which generally winds up in death, unless you're special for some unknown reason and thus wind up with super-powers. Our main character Sarah is one of the lucky ones who survived exposure and got some super-powers in exchange. I didn't like Sarah that much. Even though we're experiencing the story through her eyes, I still feel like we have a hard time getting in her head, especially as she changes her mind wildly from minute to minute.I also didn't buy her romance with Ian -- it had some aspects of "fated to be together" which always sort of annoys me, and then things just happen so fast, like maybe in a week or two tops. Again, I know it's the apocalypse, you take what you can get, but it still feels forced. Also, the ending was just such a quick fix that didn't seem to fit with the tone of the rest of the story. So this one wasn't my favorite, but I wouldn't mind checking out future stories from Karen Duvall, since maybe this one just wasn't my cup of tea. This story includes violence and a whole lot of making out.(less)

My Review

The Red Lung virus has drastically dropped the numbers in the human population. Kylie, a young doctor contracted the virus and was one of a very few people who recovered. Since then she has devoted her time to caring for her patients and hoping for a cure. Kylie firmly believed that having hope could help people find a reason to fight the virus, instead of just giving up.
With the disintegration of normal everyday life, people reverted to their primal instincts and began preying on each other. There was no law. There was no order.
But still Kylie stayed in her clinic to help the infected.
Then Ben Archer walks through the door carrying a very sick friend with what appears to be human bite mark in his flesh. And the devastating world becomes a new and terrifying place to try and survive in.
First thing I need to say is that I only read the part of the book that was written by Julie Kagawa. I desperately want to read The Eternity Cure and am waiting on the release so I was hoping this would fill that gap. I was in no way disappointed. This book was awesome! I loved both Ben and Kylie and it was a delight to read their story.
I love that Kylie is so determined to make difference in the poor fated lives of her patients. She is obviously a exceedingly caring person and is always prepared to help someone in need.
I immediately liked Ben. He's a sad broken man forced to realize the disastrous effect his actions are going to have on the already broken planet. He was persistent in wanting to go home to his family farm and keep Kylie safe at the same time.
Since this is a prequel to The Immortal Rules, Kanin Pops up in the story and it is Kylie who convinces him to except the horrendous things he has done and to move forward and try to fix them.
There was a part in the story that gave me the shivers because of the description of those frighteningly intelligent zombies and I loved it! If I ever won the lottery I would hire Julie Kagawa to tell me scary bedtime stories.
I enjoyed discovering how the the Red Lung virus mutated and eventually turns into the world that we meet Ally in.
I give this a 5 out of 5 stars.
Would I read it again? Yes!(less)

I was thrilled with Dawn of Eden and I found it a unique insight into the world of The Immortal Rules before Ali's adventure begun. Kylie made a sympathetic caring, yet tough protagonist and I was pulled into her story and her reasons for fighting the Red Lung Virus without much trouble.
The story even took a romantic turn and featured a cameo from a pretty important character from The Immortal Rules.
The ending was pretty well done, which is usually difficult with a Novella and overall, with this story, I was very impressed. Not only did it give additional background on the vamps and Red Lung Virus, but also an insight into how difficult life was during the breakout.

Thistle and Thorne
I was really surprised with this novella. I have books by Ann Aguirre on my to-read list but have yet to read any of them; needless to say this will have to change very soon because she is an exceptional writer.
Mari and Thorne made a brilliant twosome and I really hope Miss Aguirre writes a full book based on these characters because I really want to know what happens after this novella ends, especially as it ends with the suggestion that there is more to come.
There is a little tinge of romance in this, but very little and the plot and action certainly takes centre stage. The post-apocalyptic background is well thought out, and so different from most others I've read since I've never read anything about a chemical spill before.
Overall, this is a cleverly written novella but with quite a bit of violence and gore though not without the emotional undercurrent with the characters which make them feel more human.

Sun Storm
This is unfortunately the short story that let me down and by this point I was actually pretty hopeful that all three stories would be made of win. Don't get me wrong, the idea of solar flares and the end of the world is realistic enough, but what failed to capture me was the idea of developing powers when hit by the sparks from these flares. Having said that, It's no more unbelievable than zombies I guess so I gave it a chance.
When I got to a certain part half way through though, I thought the following: 'that could never happen in a million years' even my huge imagination has a limit and it reached it. Having said that, some people may take to it though to me it seemed a bit silly.
Character wise, though I loved Sarah, Ian just didn't gel with me and I didn't really feel his relationship with Sarah. Add what felt like a much too rushed ending and when I finally finished I was ready to admit that I didn't personally enjoy it.

All in all for the first two stories this is worth reading, but honestly, I did not get on with the third. Having said that, I'm sure some people will disagree with me. Give it a go when it's released!(less)
