She’s a total badass and she’s not even trying. Alex totally would have been a goner months ago without Darla there to save his ass.
Darla is the brains of operation ‘survival.
The characters continue to develop well and I still love Darla to death. Mike Mullin’s has created a dystopian world that really manages to get under your skin because of how unnervingly realistic it all is. Did it fit completely with the horrible state of the world? Absolutely. With the transformation of the world, the people that managed to survive begin resorting to any method to maintain their existence including cannibalism and human slavery. The story of Alex and Darla and the search for his parents in the harsh winter world the planet has transformed into continues! Ashen Winter maintained authenticity despite the crazy (and at times incredibly creepy) things that occurred. I don’t go all fangirl often but fangirl I did for Ashen Winter. And if we live, I want to live with you.”Īshfall was one of my favorite reads of 2011 and after reading was promptly added to my Goodreads shelf ‘full-of-wonderful’ so suffice it to say I was pretty ecstatic to finally get my hands on the follow-up story. “If we’re going to die anyway, I want to die with you. Mullin knows where he’s going with the story and if the second book was this good, I can only imagine how amazing the third one will be! I’m so looking forward to the third book in the trilogy, specially because I know that Mr. You cannot do stupid shit all the time and expect it to work out! He’s still a bit too naive and good-natured for his own good though so I was glad to see him pay dearly for his impulsiveness. I don’t think this is a good as Ashfall because Alex’ character is settled and he’s far away from the self-centered young man we met at the beginning of the first book. You cannot doubt that if something like that were to happen, the human race would devolve to its most base instincts. The societal breakdown and the lawlessness are so frightening because their portrayal is so real. In the road they learn how far some people are willing to go to survive. If you read the previous book and know how it ended, you wouldn’t be surprised that in this one Alex and Darla go back to Iowa to look for his parents.
Mullin really knew where he was going because this book was so exciting and action packed that I had my heart in my mouth for like 20 chapters straight. This is the best second book in a trilogy I’ve ever read.
