"Not everything we lost, but good, because it would be so close. So close. We were so close.
But it would never be close enough.
What am I supposed to do, knowing that?" - Taken from the book.
PRC was everything I could hope for in a sequel, it was 58 pages worth of angst and anger and even a few 'aw' worthy moments were thrown in there to mix it up a bit.
This story was told through the eyes of the male protagonist, Rhys, and I gotta say that I really enjoyed the change. It gave the story a fresher outlook and allowed the readers to experience this world through the eyes of someone who has fought so hard to stay alive, not out of obligation or necessity, but simply because to them, giving up wasn't an option. Even when all odds were against him and he was plagued with the heavy burdens of all those left behind, Rhys was still able to hold on to an ounce of hope, and it was that desperate need for survival, that ever present desire to be reacquainted with his last and lost companion, Salone, that had me shouting at my tablet and praying along with him (though admittedly not in Spanish).
Everyone knows that no one really survives a zombie apocalypse, in some way or another, things start to get to you, and you run out of fight. No, there are no survivors in a zombie apocalypse, not really, and there aren't many heroes either, but maybe that's not the point. Maybe the point is to keep on keeping on even when your only option is to jump into frigid rough waters or be turned into things that not even nightmares are made of. Read the book yourself, form your own opinions, tell me what you think, and remember, make some tea, grab a blanket, and keep warm and read.
