The Remnants: Book 2 of the After the Event Series

The Remnants is the sequel to After The Event and takes place immediately following that novel. There is the introduction of several new characters as well as following all of the original characters as they splinter off. Again, the world is a horrible place and it is sort of hard to remember that this is almost two years after society collapsed. It feels like it’s been a few days. This book definitely delves deeper into the characters and gives you things from their perspective. It also shows how easy it is to get lost/separated from each other and how people will bully others.

It follows that same, everything is horrible vibe, of most prepper/survivalist fiction with the big gangs taking over and stealing everything from others. This story makes no bones that everyone is a victim.

All that said, I hated the ending, and it sort of puts me off for the next book. I can see why the author decided to go that route.

If you liked After The Event, you will enjoy the sequel. It is much longer and more satisfying of a read. There are almost no typos/formatting issues in this book. I can only think of one. This book is definitely there in terms of quality and could easily compare to several of the published end of the world novels I’ve read.
