Love and Decay: Revolution, Episode One by Rachel Higginson
4.0
*3.5 stars*
Alright. So, everyone who knows me, also knows that I have a thing for zombies (The Walking Dead FTW!), so when Rachel Higginson approached me and asked if I would like to read and review this new season of her novella series, of course I said yes!
You read right: seasons. Love and Decay is actually a novella series with different seasons - it's more like a TV series - short episodes but very visual and action-packed that leave you wanting more. The previous seasons where told out of someone else's POV and a few years back. In Revolution we're 9 years in the future and follow Page Parker, our main character, during the zombie apocalypse.
"She was hope when there was nothing but despair."
I have to say that at first I was a little confused. I haven't read any of the previous seasons, so I didn't know about all the people, which wasn't very ideal. However, and since this is a new POV, it's not that bad and I slowly got to meet and differ all the characters.
Page is quite likeable but I felt like I didn't know a lot about her - there's apparently a background to her which I would've known about if I read the previous seasons and even though it's not a necessity, it still would've been nice. Miller Allen is - besides Santi and maybe Luke too? - one of Page's love interests and definitely the more interesting one. The version I received contained Miller's POV of episode 1 and I'm extremely happy about this! It gave me a better insight and made me get to know him a little more ... and well, I guess I like this guy? He definitely has some issues and up to this point I don't exactly know what's wrong with him ... but I'm curious to find out!
"I'd follow you to the gates of hell if you asked."
Either way, I'm excited for the next episode - which will be released next friday - and hope that the second one will answer some of my questions. It's a short and exciting read that kept me entertained the whole time, so if you like zombies you should definitely check this out!
