I instantly, became a fan of this series and author from the first book. Luckily, my love did not stop with this second book. Although, I must admit that the story and action really seemed to start at the half way mark. Up until this point, it was mainly focused on Sawyer trying to find her way in the world now as a Carbon versus a Watcher. Not that I was really complaining as I like Sawyer. Being a Carbon made Sawyer more human (funny) and stronger at the same time. I use funny as Carbons are n ...more

This is the second book in the series, and it's even better than the first.

Sawyer is in a bad place. She's lost her family, her friends, her home and her humanity. Now, she's underway to a foreign place, has to rediscover who she is as a Carbon, and should save what's left of the human race in the process by destroying the one man nobody seems to be able to destroy.

Sawyer is in a bad place. She's lost her family, her friends, her home and her humanity. Now, she's underway to a foreign place, has to rediscover who she is as a Carbon, and should save what's left of the human race in the process by destroying the one man nobody seems to be able to destroy.

The author does not readdress any information found in the first book but lets this second book take off where the first one left off. In other words, it is not a stand alone and needs to be read as a series.

Like the first book, this one never leaves room for a boring moment. The tension and stakes are high, and action awaits around every bend. The world is again easy to sink into and comes to life through sights, smells and sounds. The United Islands is a delightful contrast to the dark scenes, which have followed the story up until this point, and it works well to emphasis the changes Sawyer herself makes in this book.

Sawyer, in the beginning, is still harsh and untouchable. Her thorny attitude makes her hard to completely like and sympathize with, but as the plot unfolds, she gains a softer side, which makes her more enjoyable than before. This character development seemed more natural to me in this book, and made Sawyer more human, although she is no longer human at all.

The plot is filled with twists, layers and unexpected turns, making it a read which is hard to set down. The tension with Kenzie opens the door to all sorts of possibilities and makes it impossible to guess what the outcome of everything is going to be on that end. Another hero scoots onto center stage too, keeping the romance side interesting and uncertain. The evil threat thickens and all sorts of new discoveries make it clear that Sawyer still has quite the battle before it all comes to an end.

Unfortunately, book three isn't out yet, but if it's anything like these first two stories, it's going to be a real treat.

I received a complimentary copy and loved it so much that I wanted to leave my honest thoughts. ...more

Sawyer is now a Carbon and on a ship to the United Isles to find out more about being a Carbon and how to possibly break her bond with Coleman. She is with Max but she wants nothing to do with him, she would rather morn her loss of friends and family and to figure out how to get her revenge on Coleman. It’s coming down to a battle for humanity and Sawyer is going to be the key.

Sawyer and a group of others fled their home and made their way to the United Isles. They are hoping to make a home here and Sawyer is hoping to learn how to tap into her Carbon abilities. That's all I'm saying in my summary because I'll spoil something!!

I should give this 4 stars because I loathe love triangles and tend to keep well away from them, but I can't, I have to give it the full 5 stars because it's just that good, even with a love triangle of sorts!!!

I loved Sawyer in the first book, and loved her even more here. She became the thing he hunted, and has to deal with that. The first bit of the book focuses on her trying to come to terms with this and all it entails. She never for one moment thought she would become a Carbon, but she shines as one, and I loved seeing her come into her abilities. It just made me like her more.

Coleman has control over Kenzie and he isn't who I grew to love in the first. I felt so sorry for him when he starts to realise some things!! My heart broke when he met Sawyer. I want to say why but I'm not spoiling anything! Even if he isn't the Kenzie of the first book, he is still a strong character and I'm eagerly looking forward to seeing where his story takes us.

The plot flowed nicely and the pacing was perfect. The descriptive writing made it easy to picture the Isles and the battles etc. I found myself lost in the world the author created and few through the audio. I need the next book ASAP though!!

In all, a excellent read, even if there is a love triangle!! ;) I can understand why there's one, I just wasn't happy about it. I urge you to check out the series!!

I love the dual narration and both narrators do an amazing job. Chelsea Stephens reads this with plenty of emotion and makes for an amazing Sawyer. The only thing I saw though was that her voices for the females are fairly similar! Steve Campbell also did an awesome job. He reads Kenzie so well and his voice for Max and Coleman were great. Can't wait to hear them in the next edition!!

I was given this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. This in no way affected nor influenced my thoughts. ...more

So first off I would advise reading Watcher before reading Carbon (Book Two in the Watcher Series) by AJ Eversley as the second book will be very confusing without the background information, character development, and plot line understanding gained from reading Watcher. I liked the fact that Sawyer Russo was still the main character even if she was no longer a Watcher, but instead a Carbon. I understand why she had to become a Carbon for the story line to progress onward, but I really liked her ...more

This is one fiesty, angst, violent, hope shared with grief book. It appears as if the post end of the world war has moved to space but still the rebel humans have safe places on land. Bots, robotic parts, “Alatonion” bodies and a crazed scientest with too much power against the same few who have released themselves from his power and humans.well written story and ongoing plot with well drawn characters. It made me squirm and not very happy especially at the ending.

The Watcher series should be in any sci-fi reader’s “A” list of books to take seriously.
It has everything you could want in a story.
Great characters, lots of action, a foreboding outcome for the human race, evil dictator types forcing their vision of what the world should be, etc.
“The Watcher” was book one and “Carbon” book two with a third book promised soon, but there are four character background books that shouldn’t be missed in between that will definitely add to the story. An ...more

My review is based on the audiobook. Sawyer's journey continues in Carbon and book 2 is just as thrilling if not more than the 1st book. The author has found the perfect mixture of action, suspense, romance and humor. I am invested in these characters and find myself cheering, cringing, laughing and booing as I read/listen.

I've been on a dystopian kick of late, so when I finished Watcher, I had to go right into Carbon, and I'm glad I did.

What started as a rather simple plot in Book One has gotten incredibly more complex, and yet it still makes sense, which is a testament to Ms. Eversley's writing. Sawyer, with all she's lost - up to and including her humanity - is a sympathetic (if not always likeable) character. She loses one love interest only to find another. Max is a very interesting character (and I read the ...more

Carbon picks up almost immediately after Watcher ends, with Sawyer traveling to The United Isles in search of answers and help. Her travel companion, Max, is someone briefly introduced in book one.

One of the things I was hoping for with this book was the expansion of world-building, which was delivered more fully than in book one. I still wish we could have seen more, but that's just because I love the world Eversley has created so much that I feel like I'd always be wanting more.

The United Isles and the introduction of new characters were a significant change of pace from book one, where the action was almost non-stop. This gave more room for character development of Sawyer and Max, but there was still plenty going on to hold my interest. Sawyer saw a lot of character growth in this installment, with the help of an unlikely ally. Sawyer's grief and survivor guilt were handled with care and explored realistically and honestly. She went through a lot by the end of book one, so it was nice to see her begin to heal and find another part of herself beyond being a watcher.

The bright spot for me, even beyond Sawyer's growth and recovery, was Max, though. I liked his character from the very beginning of Carbon and only grew to adore him as the book went on. His background gives more insight into what happened to people who were left to fend for themselves, unlike Sawyer, who was in the compound. Max is a sweet cinnamon roll and I love him so much!

As I mentioned, there were additional characters introduced in this book, which helped to give answers about the rise of the carbons and some background on Coleman. Book three is set up nicely by the end of Carbon, which I already have, so I'm immediately moving onto it next!

Audio:
5/5 stars
Narrated by: Chelsea Stephens and Steve Campbell
Length: 8 hrs and 55 mins

These are the same narrators as book one, and again, I was impressed with their narrations. As I said in my review of book one, both Chelsea Stephens and Steve Campbell are easy to listen to and able to give each character their unique voice. I'm happy to see they narrate the next one as well.

This book was given to me for free at my request, and I provided this voluntary review. ...more

Carbon was another page turner. While I did not find the action in this book to be as constant as in the first book--the author's writing style pulls readers into the storyline and the character's lives and just holds them there! I didn't read this one in one sitting like I did the first--but, would still call it a page turner that is tough to put down.

As with the first book, the reader can expect the unexpected and enough twists and turns to hold interest and draw them toward the 3rd book of the series (expected next year).

The Watcher Series is a true series. Sometimes, you can begin a series with any book of the series and still feel connected to the characters and follow the series. That is definitely not the case with this series. Eversley's writing style does not really refresh the readers' memory of past events and relationships--instead; she launches readers into the new adventure. Plan to read the series from the beginning.

Eversley continues the writing style I loved from the first book. She continues to surprise readers and explain scenes and events without a lot of fanfare. Readers will get to know the characters and follow the action as it unfolds. Having said that; however, the author really does a nice job developing characters that readers will connect with (and love or hate) as well as well planned settings and scenes that draw readers in.

Would I recommend carbon? As I said in my last review, I loved The Hunger Games--and enjoyed both books of this series just as much. I didn't like this book as much at the beginning as I did the first--but, it really did pick up rather quickly and created the perfect bridge to book three. I highly recommend this book to dystopian fans--especially fans of sci-fi or dystopian novels with strong female leads. If you read Watchers; you must continue and read Carbon. Once you've read Carbon--you really have not choice but to wait for that next book. I look forward to continuing this series and reading more from this author.

When the first book ended, I didn't waste any time and continued reading the sequel. I have to say that this book felt longer than the first. As you read my musings, you will know why.

The story started off where it ended in the first book. From there, it zoomed off but then slowed down a bit. The first half was slow. It was more emotion and character based than plot.

If your streets and the buildings around you were all empty, how would you react? It would be quite lonely, one would imagine–if you were one of the only humans left, fighting against robots for the survival of the human species? That is a lot of pressure for one person to have.

Eversley continues this journey into a new world, one of science fiction and adventure which will pull readers in quickly and keep them hanging on every detail.

Leaving the world that she knew—the place that she called home—without the love of her life or any hope of surviving the carbon army waiting for their moment to strike. That sounds awful, but for Sawyer, this world is just hopeless. She is no longer human. She is alone in the world and still looked at as the savior of the human race. As her journey leads Sawyer and the remaining survivors to the United Isles, she slowly starts to piece together bits of herself. Unfortunately, Coleman is not yet finished toying with her—sending an unexpected visitor to destroy what is left of her sanity and diminish the fight left in her. With little to no expectations of winning this war, a beacon of light by way of a child princess and a cloaked elderly woman shed some insight into her destiny. Even if it is a tiny glimpse, Sawyer understands that her mission is not over and she also learns Coleman’s secret to his possible destruction.

Eversley has a superb story-line, filled with creativity, world-building, and originality. We’ve all heard and seen science fiction novels and movies, but Eversley brings a new twist to the fold. The pace is quick and steady from the beginning and carries through the entirety of the story. She provides that urgency to understand the depth of extinction the human race faces. Since this review compliments the audiobook, both narrators did fantastic work with voice relay. The scenes were vivid for the imagination and characters were credible. This is the second installment in the Watcher Series, so it is recommended that readers do read or listen through the first installment before diving into the second one. If you are interested in action and science fiction, this may a perfect fit.

They are not stand-alone novels. Although there are similarities to the Hunger Games in this trilogy I read Watcher, the first book in the Watcher series, a thrilling dystopian trilogy that I loved.

Carbon continues off where Watcher left off, and like most thrilling dystopian books I've read in the past (Hunger Games and Divergent) these books need to be read in order. They are not stand-alone novels. Although there are similarities to the Hunger Games in this trilogy: kick-ass female lead, love triangle and sadistic enemy, this trilogy truly stands on its own.

As in the first book, the author succeeds in immersing her readers in a dystopian world, with strong compelling characters battling complex issues and a plot that is well executed. Kenzie is now back under the control of Coleman, the enemy bent on ruling the world, and Max is on a journey with Sawyer as she learns to harness and deal with her new Carbon body. Sawyer is grieving and must learn to move on and Max plays a huge role in helping her do that but also in helping her prepare to take on Coleman.

Once again, this was a fast read for me. I flew through its pages, enjoying not only the suspenseful and action-packed scenes, but also the whole gamma of emotions that Sawyer goes through. She is strong, yet vulnerable; stuck, yet moving forward; torn between her feelings of grief, guilt and love, yet willing to face them onward. I have to say that I loved Chevy, Sawyer's dog. He was a great character, endearing and heroic. I loved the scenes with him in it.

Once again, the ending was satisfying but left us with a cliffhanger that has me eager for the next book. Thankfully, the author has a few novellas featuring the backstory of several characters that will keep me not only invested in this trilogy but happy to be continuing to read more of her work. AJ Eversley is an author to watch for, and I eagerly anticipate reading more of her work. Her books are now on my list of Best Reads for 2017. ...more

Note: This is Book 2 in the series and you really do need to check out Book 1 before jumping into this story.

Sawyer Russo and her dog Chevy are sharing a small cabin in a sub as they hunt for the United Isles in hopes of finding an ally. Max Murphy is with her and she’s pretty irritated with him. Sawyer’s short fuse was starting to annoy everyone, including myself, by the time she reined it in.
