DESCRIPTION:
They thought things would get easier. They were wrong.
For Callie, Phil and the others, life is one long battle from dawn ’til dusk. Despite this, the settlement has flourished and gone from strength to strength. Until now.
What lurks on the horizon is a test, the likes of which they could never have imagined. New threats, new challenges and the new day could spell the end of all their hopes.
Since leaving the bunker, they’ve faced unfathomable hardships and terrifying enemies, but nothing could have prepared them for this.
Because this is anarchy.
MY REVIEW:
All I can say is this series keeps on getting better. I was fortunate enough to start it when the 4th book was set for pre-order, so I didn’t have to wait long. But now I will for the next one. Nooooo!
I’ve always had my issues with Callie as she’s only 16, but they treat her like she’s so special. Maybe she is, but it’s also everyone else around her that makes the difference. And Christopher is starting to develop the supporting characters more. Like her mom, Susan. Kudos to her for getting over her self-pity and addiction, and leading the group in areas they hadn’t thought of.
Phil is another character I have a strong attachment to. But what he and his wife endured at the end, how much will that change him? Will his rediscovered dark nature effect the group? I want to know!
Christopher has a handle on the nastier side of human nature. It broke my heart, but I could see it happening, when certain factions just didn’t want to change for the betterment of everyone. They could only see how they had been mistreated and refused to accept how they had been brainwashed by the ruling class of Salvation.
When I think back to the other books in the series, it’s hard to imagine that they have all taken place within a matter of a month or two. This is an action-packed, fast-paced series and it’s hard to put them down until the very end. However, they are not standalones. If you don’t start with Salvation, you’d be hard pressed to see the full dynamics of the story.
If you love coming-of-age, dystopian/post-apocalyptic tales, you need to read this series. I give Anarchy 5-stars.
