I feel like I ought to go easy on it because it is, after all, just a recreation of the Hatfields and McCoys set in rural post-apocalyptic England. It's been many years after a broken asteroid took out North America and we have a mostly illiterate farming community that is run more like a feudal system than anything else. Enter in the characters. This is where all the fun is going to be had, assuming you have fun with them. Me? I was kinda meh with them and the underlying concept of the novel. It was competent but nothing truly stood out. I've enjoyed Hutchinson's other novels quite a bit but this one kinda left me flat. You know it's a bad sign when you're rooting for the bloodshed and a nightmare-fueled war between these "sane" rural community folk. Then again, maybe that was the whole point. I'll be looking out for other novels by him but this one... not so much. I received this book in exchange for an honest review from Netgalley. That being said I had a hard time getting into this story. Initially the storyline was what attracted me as I love anything post-apocalyptic. But very quickly I found the story became convoluted with too many characters getting involved without much background information so I quickly lost track of who was who in the book. I think if the story had focused more on a central plot and and not gone off on so many tangents it would have helped me to become more invested in the characters. It does appear that there will be another book in the series but I'm not sure if I'll be reading it or not. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Pertence à sérieThe Aftermath (1)
Rural English Post-Apocalypse survival for a new generation. The Long Autumn is coming to an end. For almost a century after the coming of The Sisters, the surviving peoples of rainswept England have huddled in small communities and on isolated farms, scavenging the remains of the old society. But now society, of a kind, is starting to rebuild itself. In Kent, a brutal tyranny is starting to look West. In the Cotswolds, something terrible and only vaguely-glimpsed is happening. And in a little corner of Berkshire two families are at war with each other. After decades of simply trying to survive, the battle to inherit this brutal new world is beginning.
