I guess I haven’t really given overt spoilers, but you can probably guess how the book concluded.
I’d recommend reading ‘The Rain’, but it ins’t much of a stretch to figure out what happens in the sequel. I was disappointed, so I’m only going to give this book 2 stars. One of the only reasons I continued reading the duology was to see how the author dealt with the situation of the rain. How convenient is it that the one girl who survived can carry on surviving, along with her true love? To end a dystopian/apocalyptic book with a genetic conclusion is the biggest cliche of the genre. It was such a cliche, it was practically inevitable. Overall, the whole book was very VERY repetitive and….wait for it….PREDICTABLE. In between this travel, she’d try and get rid of her companions. The whole plot was based around her running to and from these horrible people in a little triangle of travel.
This is a mistake Ruby makes one too many times. It’s not a very good idea to run into the hands of an enemy, who has rumours surrounding them of child-murder. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. But also, she doesn’t seem to have learnt that in an apocalyptic world, people will do anything to survive, whether that be killing animals, strangers or friends. I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Saskia and Princess both have to struggle to stick by Ruby when they’re travelling about the country in their high-jacked cars. It’s fair to say that she went through some character development for her personality, but her actions sure didn’t change.įirst of all, she doesn’t seem to appreciate how much better surviving will be if your with another person. She was more comfortable in her situation and not so whiny. Ruby managed to survive on her own for 3 MONTHS? It must be easier than I thought! But, I began to warm up to Ruby. "Ruby's candid, addicting narration brought this terrifying and wholly plausible story to life.I’d didn’t quite realise that this book was set 3 MONTHS after the first book. H2O left me thirsting for more." -Kristen Simmons, author of Article 5and Breaking Point
Horrified, she flips out and fights back-only to make the most shocking discovery of all. So when a chance encounter leads her to a camp with the last boy she may ever kiss (it's not easy to date during an apocalypse), Ruby gratefully accepts the army's protection.īut safety comes with a price: If Ruby wants to stay, she must keep her eyes-and her mouth-shut.Įxcept Ruby stumbles across a secret she can't possibly keep. Ruby's not sure she can make it on her own much longer. Ninety-seven percent of the population is dead.
