It wasn't bad, maybe even a bit better than the previous book, I just got bored. And if there's one thing that really annoys me when it comes to books, it's to get bored. Maybe it's the writing style, maybe it's the characters, not sure. All I know is I'm waving goodbye to this series.
So oh well. I tried. Better luck next time....more

It was very very cliche, and the characters pretty flat, you could see the story a mile away and know what will happen next. I skimmed half of it and the rest was only at a max 3-star.
Still, for some weird reason, I will go on with the second book. Will probably DNF it, but eh, I'm feeling in a charitable mood, will give this series a chance. [image]...more

I sense the potential here, especially with the plot (the characters are not wow). Yes, it's your typical apocalypse book, but who doesn't love a good dystopia, right?
Worth a try if you're looking for an easy dystopia. I've seen the reviews, most people either liked it or hated it, but I can't really find a reason for either. I mean, it's not bad, it's not great. It's just, well, junk-food read.
I'll go on with the next book, see if I get bored. Might be worth a try to make up your own mind about it (it's short enough). ...more

Yes, the last books are not as good as the first ones, but it's so, so difficult to find good, decent dystopias out there, that I can't help but be happy I found this.
Overall, the series was fast-paced and pretty interesting from a plot POV, there were some side characters that I absolutely loved (especially the 'puppy'), and it was well enough written that it kept me curious and engaged until the end. Yes, the characters weren't perfectly built and there were some gaps here and there, but frankly, the writing was good enough for me to bypass them and not care.
Great work author, I'll look for more stuff from you!...more
Oh, how I missed Anderle's world and writing style! [image]
Yup, if you've read the Kurtherian Gambit, you'll really enjoy this series.
If you haven't,Oh, how I missed Anderle's world and writing style! [image]
Yup, if you've read the Kurtherian Gambit, you'll really enjoy this series.
If you haven't, don't worry, you'll still enjoy the series.
If you've never read anything by Michael Anderle, you're in for a surprise. He has a very very unique writing style. It takes a few chapters to get used to the different style, but trust me, you'll love it once you do. Just give it a try, be a bit patient, and you'll love this author and all his projects. You'll recognize his books no matter what and, even though you'll like some more than others, there won't be a series you won't enjoy.
Ok, back to this specific book/series.
It's a post-apocalyptic world but one where people haven't all lost their humanity. I got a feeling of empowerment, of wanting to do good, of wanting to help, after finishing this book.
It's full of blood and bada*s characters, a lot of sarcastic humor and absolutely amazing side characters.
If you read the main one, Their Champion, this will be a bit annoying and boring. But, well, I read this after a Really fun beginning of a side-story!
If you read the main one, Their Champion, this will be a bit annoying and boring. But, well, I read this after a while after finishing the main series, so it's fun, at least for now.
Sometimes the MC is annoying, but I'm really hoping she'll get over it. The guys though are amazing, so they compensate for her personality....more

I wanted a lot more of this series, but I heard that there are other books in this universe, so I will give them a try.
Once again, a series worth reading. It is definitely one of the best dystopians I've read and a really good surprise. Well done, K.A. Knight. Well done....more

Is he the perfect hero? Ha, not even close! But he is the perfect incarnation of what the world became. And he is good for his Queen. [image]
What I love most about this series is that you actually get to see the characters grow, become a better version of themselves. And they can't do it on their own, they need each other. Love, love, love it!
Yup, the story is still fun. Can't wait for the next part though! I missed her other guys....more

Yup, this is definitely a series to read. It was fun, complex, exciting, with really amazing characters and an even better plot. How can you not love Pippa DaCosta when she writes like this?! [image]
I loved the series, it was much better than I expected and definitely worth reading (yeah, I know RHs are not for everyone, but you will love this one, no doubt!). ...more

The plot is still really interesting, I'm not planning on quitting too soon, but eh. It happens, I guess.

Normally, it's really hard to write a plausible RH, but well, we have Pippa DaCosta here, and a dystopia, so it's all a lot easier. And it works! [image]
The story is getting more and more interesting and the new characters are fun. Can't wait to see what's next!...more

I was curious about this series, but frankly, I didn't have too much hope. So, it was a really pleasant surprise to find that it was way better than I expected.
The overall plot has a lot of potential and the MC is badass and fun. The guys seem ok as well, I'm just waiting now to see how it goes....more

Ok, so it's a dystopia in the real sens4.5 Ohh, what do we have here! [image]
I did not expect this awesomeness when I started reading this book. [image]
Ok, so it's a dystopia in the real sense of the word. You get violence, blood, rape, torture, the worst sides of humans. On the other hand, you get friendship, loyalty, love, strength, acceptance, the best things a human being can bring.
This series has everything you could possibly wish for in a Dystopian novel.
The writing is really good (as you'd expect from this author), and the characters are amazing.
You get a great world builder and incredible plot, it's definitely hard to put down and even harder not to really fall for all these characters, no matter how flawed they are.
So, if you're looking for a short dystopian series, but a real one, try this one. It would have been perfect if it was longer, but eh. Still better than 90% of what I've read so far.
(3 stars really, but the overall rating is low, so maybe my 4-stars help a bit) Not a bad start, well done author! [image]

It's been ages since I read a dystopia, and I admit, I've missed this. All the post-apocalyptic, world-ending action and drama and stuff.
Yup, pretty good start. The series also has an interesting twist to it: (view spoiler)[ the scientists wanted to give normal people magic, and they succeeded, but brought on the apocalypse with that (hide spoiler)].
Not the best dystopia, but a good start and a fun series. It's fast-paced, interesting characters, and I can honestly say, relaxing (if you're ok with the blood and detailed description of death and stuff).
Worth a try if you're looking for a break in your usual genre (and, again, if you're ok with descriptive death of zombies). ...more
