Featured Reviews

After the End Trilogy by Mark Gillespie . Anthology included The Curse, The Sinners, and The End War. After a great war, violence, hatred, prejudice were all inclusive in the separate survival groups. Each group's leader had a different agenda which had a extremely personal radical purpose. The first two stories were fast paced and all encompassing, the third one felt unfinished. Would have liked to have seen Eda and Frankie Boy meet up with the other Nomads.

Thank you to the publisher, author, and NetGalley for the opportunity to preview the book.

****Review****

Action packed post apocalypse world.

Eda is a strong willed and brave. Instead of staying in safe New York with its deadly secrets and lies Eda embarks on an adventure through America where she meets other survivors.
I like this book it had a good story line and made me think it would be like that in some ways groups would sprout up with many different beliefs on how the world ended. Danger and adventure go hand in hand with this one. I found myself emersed in the story and characters. I wont lie I did grieve for them too.
I can’t wait to start his other book The Exterminaters trilogy
Thank you to Netgalley/ Mark Gillipsie/BookGoSocial for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This collection contained three novels: [book:The Curse|43298180], [book:The Sinners|44162683], and [book:The End War|45724371]. And while I would recommend reading them in order, they are each essentially self-contained.

All three of these novels are set in a post-apocalyptic America. The country has been devastated by a major international war. There are pockets of survivors throughout the country, but limited communication between the groups and no trust. We follow Eda as she makes her way out of one community into the wider, wilder land. Along the way, we meet other survivors; some good, some evil.

I found there to be more characterization in this book than I would have expected. Many characters have multiple facets and few felt cut-out. The majority of the characters we meet have at least one major surprise that kept this reader on her toes. One of my complaints about this story was that Eda is in her mid-thirties. She certainly read much younger than that. I understand she grew up in an age of war and the "wild years", but she frequently read more like a child than a full-grown woman.

The first book, <u>The Curse</u>, started a little slow, but allowed the reader to understand the part of the world Eda knew. Once the action picked up, it seldom let go. The action continues through the next two installments.

Each book was on the short side, almost a collection of three novellas. I am more accustomed to longer forays into the post-apocalyptic world, but this was well-done shorter fiction. I could certainly read about more of Eda's encounters and the next phase After the End.

I would be happy to read more works by Mark Gillespie and I will certainly watch for future installments in this world.

I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley, all thoughts in this review are my own.

This was such a great read. There are many post apocalyptic books and series out there but this one was a fresh take and greatly different. Each book is a different situation for Eda and I loved following her in this world. Books were paced nicely and kept me interested. Looking forward to reading more books by Mark Gillespie.
