Blown Away

I was blown away by this series. I started in a whim 4 days ago and couldn't stop listening. I was just looking for a dystopian distraction that I could escape into. This book series had it all. Action, horror, paranormal, romance, plot twists and building, character development. I feel like the author pulled every emotion possible out of me throughout this series. I never expected to feel so much from a dystopian horror series, but I did. If horror isn't your thing, there isn't a ton of gore, it's definitely a nice series to use to dip your toe into either horror or dystopian genres.

SPOILERS….

Well! At least the main protagonists survived. But still….we don’t know what those creatures were, or where they were from, or how they could produce snow & freezing temperatures, or anything about them. That was a little disappointing for me, but I’m a person who likes answers. I know it’s much more fashionable these days to let the audience make up their own minds. I’m not one for fashion or trends.
Aside from that, it was a very exciting survival story, and such good value that it lasted over five books. Definitely worth the read. I still think the author knows a thing or two about being in a survival situation.

snow series

All of these books were terrific! fast listen thru Audible! A true page turner

Great ending to a great story

I really enjoyed this series. I finished all4 books in 2 days. You get a bit of everything in this book, even a dog!

quite good if you enjoy the genre

There were a few things that stood out as unlikely responses to situations, but overall this was an excellent horror apocalypse

My favorite

This has became my favorite series. I constantly was on the edge of my seat. Definitely worth reading.

Sad for it to end

This series was emotional and beautiful and scary and all the things. 10/10 would recommend!

Not horrible but had so mich potential

Every time something happened it was like woe is me, i cant handle this stressful situation, oh no, we’re all doomed i say doomed! Better balance was needed and better research while putting the story together. It was like Eyore was telling a story.

Series lost momentum and ... then it's over

Loved the first couple of "books" in the series. Very well written and enough of a story in each of them that I was able to live with the fact that I'm burning a credit on a 2-3 hour "book."

The last 2 books - this one and City of Lights are not good. There isn't enough story to make 1 book, let alone 2. The interactions with the characters was repetitive and almost identical - when a new character is introduced the pattern of the next few mins of listening is POSTIVE - NEGATIVE - POSITIVE (or NEG - POST - NEG for a bad guy). The sentence structure is a copy and paste job. Literally the same words.

The end of the book and resolution to the series is.. embarrassingly bad. I could have gotten on board with the big reveal (MOTHER MONSTER) - he laid the ground work to have scientists in the city "discover" the MM through whatever scientific whatever he wanted but no. When the MM was revealed I was like wait, what? I went back a few chapters and re-listened, thinking I'd just missed a hint or a discovery or whatever but no. It was a bad and lazy ending to an otherwise good series. I felt the author just got tired of writing the series or ran out of ideas and so threw a conclusion out of nowhere that had no build up. I would have felt better if after chapter 5 the series would have ended with something like "and I woke up to a knife to my throat. I feel it cutting into my nec... argh..." El licked the blood off the edge of the knife, smiled and said "who's next."
Long live Discordia. The end.

After books 1-3, I was on board with trying some of his other books - I would have except I kept talking myself out of it because of the terrible reviews of each, but after these last 2 in the series, especially this one, I'm hard passing.

I would have returned this book 5-6 chapters in, the series had completely lost it's luster by then, except apparently Audible/Amazon don't allow you to return books anymore. Not sure why/when that changed but I've got to say that's pretty disappointing. I've always been pretty adventurous in picking books on here bc I knew if I swung and missed, I could just return it rather than waste a credit. Now that's changed and Audible is basically Apple Books, I'll be comparing prices and possibly moving on from Audible.

Great Story - Terrible Dialogue

Good Story. Good narration. Awful dialogue. It has plagued the whole series. Unrealistic and awkward.
