My Review
Rage is the second book in this series the first been "seventeen" and while I had not read the first I was quickly able to gather what had happened and enjoy reading the journey these characters were continuing on.
In the previous book we learn that a virus named KV17 kills every adult on Earth.
In this book we again join sisters Lexi and Hadley along with the other children of Jasper as they encounter more and more challenges as they learn to live without the help of adults or modern society or structure.
To add to the intense worry and fear is the new knowledge that the virus has mutated and now older teens can be infected, Lexi also is dealing with her own fears, is she now a host? was anyone else immune in any way?
The survivors of Jasper meet the children of Gracetown, also struggling in many of the same way, both these fractions need to learn to work together if either is to get through the problems they face especially around the limited food and water supplies.
I found this read so fresh and original I was not even a 1/3 through and i was gutted I hadn't read the first book before! as i just enjoyed the uniqueness of the story, what would happen to the children of the world if all the adults died?
In this read its been almost 6 moths since the virus hit and we see the fall of society, the fall of the structure of modern life, with no adults to govern with no one to work or provide everything that we take for granted stops, food supplies and growth, clean water, financial structures, communications from media to phone and internet, this was an utterly fascinating premise and after enjoying this book so much I cannot wait for the next!
