NOTE: I feel the need to start my review with a note this time. I have read (and rated) 468 books and have only given 40--5 star ratings. Both The First Days and Siege got 5's from me. I can not stress how well written, brilliantly executed, and boldly told this series is. You must read it even if you don't like zombies. It is a story of humanity, heartbreak, and hope!

First Thought when Finished: That is a way to end a trilogy!

What I Loved: When a series comes to an end, I look for 2 things: closure and hope. As a reader, I need to feel closure for both the characters and myself. I need to know that this particular phase (emotional, physical, challenge) has been met and that the characters are off to face a new phase in their lives. I also need hope. I need to feel like their world goes on and that they embrace the life that they have been given. That this life (yes I realize it is fictional) they have is worth fighting for and the future (no matter how bleak) holds hope for a better tomorrow with loved ones. These key elements allow me to feel that I was lucky to have shared this part of the characters journey and for now we part ways. Rhiannon Frater managed to break my heart, sew it back together, scare me to death, and finally leave me with hope that these characters that I have come to love would move on from now and into the future! I could not ask for more from a story than what I was given in Siege. It was a very fitting end to what will be one of my favorite trilogies EVER!

What I Liked: My favorite thing about Rhiannon's writing (both series that I have read) is her ability to create complex characters in all shades of grey. However, with this series it was her ability to build a world that was compelling and believable. It is not often that you get both compelling characters and a world that almost counts as a character all its own!

Final Thought: Both The First Days and Siege received 5's from me. I stand behind those ratings 110% and recommend these books to anyone who enjoys a really good story told with a ton of courage and alright just a bit of gore (really there is gore--I have to mention it LOL)! Get thee to the bookstore! You won't be sorry!

PS: I am not leaving out Fighting to Survive--I gave it a 4.75! This is probably the highest rated series (outside Harry Potter) that I have given. Truly it was just brilliant!

As the World Dies Siege A Zombie Trilogy Book Three As The World Dies Trilogy 3 eBook Rhiannon Frater Reviews

OMG Rhiannon!!!! OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!! I think I might be able to write an intelligent review tomorrow. Maybe. Definately need to process what the hell just happened!
*Tomorrow*
Ok I think I might be able to form something intelligent about this book. We'll see.
This book picks up with our favorite zombie killing ladies right were it left off in Fighting to Survive. I would give you a rehash of the plot but seriously people just read it. I'm pretty sure I couldn't do that without giving away spoilers.
The good
The writing. It flows, man. As I would have said in the early 90's...it's totally legit. Rhiannon created a world and just continues to fill it with great characters and scenes that we love.
Plently of action but not overdone. Plenty of drama. Plenty of heroines. Plenty of people you want to slap. Plenty of people you want to throw over the wall.
Nerit...oh may gawd I want this lady to be my mother/grandmother. Please can I have her. Oh I'm gonna tear up when I think about what happens to her. After my moms recent health struggles Nerits really touched me.
Calhoun. Aww man what a crazy old man. I loved him. I would have never guessed he was a "crazy old cat/dog lady either".
The not so good
IT'S THE LAST BOOK IN THE SERIES!! Aww I'm gonna miss these people!
SO happy for Rhiannon. She rocks! I wish her all the best and can't to read more by her.
I feel like the vigalante could have been flushed out more within this book. I feel like that storyline conclusion was just not drawn out enough. Of course with that many Zombies around who can focus on anything else.
I almost didn't want to write this review for the silly reason that I feel like I have found a nugget of gold and don't want to spoil it by sharing it with others. But, again, that's silly. This entire series is a thrill from start to finish. It's one of the first zombie-themed books I've read, being mostly a historical fiction fan. I was always afraid to read these kind of books because I enjoy sleeping through the night so much but I took a chance at the library one day and I'm so glad I did! The characters in this story grab you from the beginning and you feel their fear, joy, anguish etc. BUT this is NOT a chick-lit book, or as I call them "quivering loin" books. This is action and horror that is character driven. I have no patience for books that blather on with romantic/sex scenes that carry on for pages or rebuffed lovers mooning over each other. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I read each book in this series literally at the edge of my seat, bed, or desk. I caught myself covering the unread portions of each page so my eyes wouldn't jump ahead and ruin something for me. I don't want to give away plot points etc but this book ripped my heart out, and not in a zombie way. The writing is full of detail without being boring. There are characters to love and hate. There is no fairy tale ending. No one is safe. The author is not afraid to kill off favorites and let other not-so-favorites live. The bad guys don't always win, but they don't always lose either. And the "heroes" are flawed, just like all of us. I recommend this book to everyone looking for a thrilling read.
