Dawn of Eden by Julie Kagawa
Before The Immortal Rules, there was the Red Lung, a relentless virus determined to take out all in its path. For Kylie, the miracle of her survival is also her burden-as a doctor at one of the clinics for the infected, she is forced to witness endless suffering. What's worse, strange things are happening to the remains of the dead, and by the time she befriends Ben Archer, she's beginning to wonder if a global pandemic is the least of her problems....
Thistle & Thorne by Ann Aguirre
After a catastrophic spill turns the country into a vast chemical wasteland, those who could afford it retreated to fortresses, self-contained communities run by powerful corporations. But for Mari Thistle, life on the outside-in the Red Zone-is a constant struggle. To protect her family, Mari teams up with the mysterious Thorne Goodman. Together, they'll face an evil plot in both the underworld of the Red Zone and the society inside the fortresses that could destroy those on the outside...for good.
Sun Storm by Karen Duvall
Sarah Daggot has been chasing storms since she was a child. But after the biggest solar flares in history nearly destroy the planet, she becomes a Kinetic, endowed by her exposure to extreme radiation with the power to sense coming storms-in the cosmos and beyond. And she's not the only one. Sarah believes the Kinetics are destined to join forces and halt the final onslaught of the sun. She'll vow to keep trying to convince the one missing link in their chain of defense, the enigmatic Ian Matthews, up until the world ends.
My Review:
I enjoyed reading these stories so much! I've read from Julie Kagawa and Ann Aguirre before, but not Karen Duvall, and all these stories, in worlds where society as we know it has crumpled from one disaster or another, was such a great read!
Dawn of Eden is the prequal to the Blood of Eden series, and it's of the time just after the rabids are created, and are just starting to spread. It was interested to see what it was like-since we follow a doctor, and a guy who was peripherally connected to the group trying to find a cure, and they do encounter Kanin, and that scene with the boat, I'm wondering. I plan on reread the series shortly, so I'll have to see if I'm right!
The whole time I read Thistle & Thorn, I thought that it was a prequel to the Razorland series. So I was wondering how things would connect. But it's not-and now I'm really hoping that we get a sequel, because it was an intriguing world, and like Mari thought, things aren't finished between her and Thorne!
Sun Storm, yeah, was my least favourite, and that's understandable, it's the one from the author I haven't read before. It just didn't quite make sense to me, the timing of things, and how the Kinetics worked and all that. But I did enjoy it!
Loved reading these stories, and I can't wait to read more of these authors!
