First
Line: “Alex had fallen like this only
once in her life.”
”The
Changed are on the move.
The
Spared are out of time.
The
End… is now.
When
her parents died, Alex thought things couldn't get much worse- until the
doctors found the monster in her head.
She headed into the wilderness as a
good-bye, to leave everything behind. But then the end of the world happened,
and Alex took the first step down a treacherous road of betrayal and terror and
death.
Now, with no hope of rescue- on the brink of
starvation in a winter that just won’t quit she discovers a new and horrifying
truth.
The Change isn't over.
The Changed are still evolving.
And… they’ve had help.
With this final volume of The Ashes Trilogy,
Ilsa J. Bick delivers a riveting, blockbuster finish, returning readers to a
brutal, post-apocalyptic world where no one is safe and hope is in short
supply.
A world where, from the ashes, the monsters
may rise.”
My Rating: 4.5/5
This is a series
that I found at my local library and instantly fell in love with. The topic of
the end of the world is a fascinating one for many reasons. It involves
imagination and can also cause a reader to fear for the future. It could be any
time if you think about it. There are so many things we as humans don’t know or
understand. It’s a thrill to read. Ilsa J. Bick did a great job in this
trilogy, using genius descriptions. So descriptive that I found if I closed my
eyes I could picture what was going on in my mind (Please say someone else does
this and I’m not crazy?). The only reason that I couldn’t give this instalment a
full 5/5 is because I felt that parts of it really dragged on. I hate to see a
series end, but I felt like this one was hard for the author to end and so it
just kept on going on. But at the same time, it needed to have this kind of
ending. I can’t say that I know anything about writing a novel, because I
obviously don’t, but that’s what this blog is about. Feedback and book loving.
Tada. Hopefully that wasn’t offensive.
THANK YOU ILSA J.
BICK FOR TAKING US THROUGH THE END OF THE WORLD IN A CREATIVE WRITING STYLE!
Thanks for reading,
Love,
Sidny xoxo
