[Mandiann]

Thanks for making the thread. Looking forward to starting this soon.

Yah same here!

[Mandiann]

I started this one today. I am through the first part and onto the second.

I forgot who everyone was and it took me quite a while to get back into this.

Part One

Ringer (view spoiler)[ since I forgot completely who everyone was, I wrongly assumed SHE was one of the MC from the last book (Zombie AKA Ben). I was so confused when she alluded to thoughts about Zombie in a romantic way as I had it in my mind that she was a he and I did not remember any male romances in the last book. It wasn't until part two that all of the pieces fell into place for me. (hide spoiler)]

Teacup (view spoiler)[ Oh wow. I don't see how she can survive. (hide spoiler)]

[v.v]

I'll start tomorrow finishing up another buddy read today.

[Mandiann]

So I king of just powered through this one really quickly and didn't have access to a computer to comment.

I wasn't a huge fan of this one. The first 2/3 of the book (view spoiler)[ kept switch POV and telling of the same events (with a little back story) through every persons eyes. So really, the first 2/3 f the book took place in about a day. (hide spoiler)]

The last 1/3 of the book got a bit better but it wasn't enough to redeem the book for me.

[v.v]

I'm like halfway through the book right now.

I didn't know a single character except for Evan through the whole book. :P

Ringer(view spoiler)[ Ringer was an actual main character though. But what did she do in the first book? (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I understand the problem with multiple POVs but I still liked the first half of the book. Or where I'm up till. (hide spoiler)]
How do you feel about the (view spoiler)[ Ben-Cassie-Evan love triangle? (hide spoiler)]

[Mandiann]

Ringer was (view spoiler)[ brought into Ben's squad in the first book because she was a good shooter. Her POV was not explored in the first book. (hide spoiler)]

Triangle (view spoiler)[ I dislike it. I preferred Ben and Ringer to Ben and Cassie. (hide spoiler)]

[Mandiann]

Multiple POV (view spoiler)[ I like the Multiple POV, my bone to pick was that they all told about the exact same thing and I would have rather had more happen and more time pass within the multiple POV. (hide spoiler)]

[v.v]

Ooh I remember her now. I didn't like her that much in the first book actually. She was really rude. (view spoiler)[ Same I prefer Ben and Ringer. I wonder why he changed it up. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I understand what you meant by it happening in almost one day. (hide spoiler)]

[v.v]

Okay I'm done. It was nothing special really compared to the first book. I think there was too much hype about it.

Maybe the next book will be better?

[Mandiann]

Hopefully. I was pretty disappointed in this one.

[v.v]

Same here. When's the next one coming out?

[Mandiann]
