A review by bairdy1985
Days of Fury by Andrew Masseurs
5.0
I mean.. after the ending of the last book I just had to continue the series. For those not familiar we are following the lives of the last humans on earth as they try to stay alive..One day life as we known it vanished.. all but a few remain and the how and why is still a little unclear..the reader gets to search for the truth at the same time as the characters. One family in particular got given a second chance.. but this world..it’s not safe for anyone with monsters now roaming.
To understand this instalment it’s vital you’ve read book 2.. a lot has happens but there’s still so much unknown.. and that’s where the events of Days of Fury comes in..
The author manages to fill in some of the blanks, the how’s and the whys of how characters ended up where they did, and wonderfully adds depth not only to the main cast but the supporting cast,, although it’s clear maybe they were never supporting cast.. we just didn’t know their part yet..
I think what shines for me is the clear and steady development of the plot.. while the reader is left guessing as much as the characters as to what will happen next, it’s clear the author has taken the time to plan events and is working up to something big.. while the story progresses we are treated to a rich and wonderful world and events, mixed perfectly with character development.
Days of Fury starts strong giving us the background of someone we think is a new character and quickly sets the tone of the book. While the first book in the series was about finding a place in the new world, the second about survival.. the third for me is emotional development as the each character comes to terms with not only the event of the vanishing and the horrible monsters.. but learning to face the prospect that not everyone left alive is a good person, and for some the vanishing has brought out the worst in them…which side of the coin are they on..good or bad.
It’s a wonderful instalment that truly solidifies the series with the reader. With so much action you need to keep the readers focus right where you want it and Andrew Masseurs certainly does that. The post-apocalyptic world he’s created is immensely breathtaking and I can only see things going from strength to strength.
Oh and not to spoil things but if you like a few twists and turns.. yeah this is for you!
Easy 5* and I’m ready for book 4
