Just finished another episode of ReMade and it was just as engaging as the first! We're introduced to another POV character, May, and get to know her and her backstory better. This just made me even more excited to continue on with the series. There are soo many possible explanations and theories about what's going on! The story's concept is very interesting. So far, this is actually slightly reminiscent of The 100, which BTW is my fave TV show ever! Y'know, a bunch of teenagers dropping down from space with no idea why, and trying to survive in the wilderness by themselves. Also, since this is probably going to be told from the POVs of many narrators, I'm really excited to learn more about the other teenagers -- especially Nevaeh!

I found May to be a really unlikable character, but I felt for her plight.

Book – ReMade – Season 1, Episode 2: Hungry
Author – Matthew Cody
Star rating - ★★★★☆
POV – 3rd person, 1 character
Would I read it again – Yes
Genre – Sci-Fi, Contemporary, Futuristic, Alien
** COPY RECEIVED THROUGH NETGALLEY **
As before, this was an exciting glimpse into the overall adventure of the “ReMade” story. With a new main character, May, we see a totally different side of the 'world' we've been dropped into. And, thankfully, we start the story exactly where Episode 1 left off, when Holden appeared out of the elevator into the forest, so we don't miss a thing.
May was a little too overeager, perfect and pushy for me. I didn't really warm to her as a main character. But, through her POV, we got to see more of the children already gathered in the forest and just how many there are in red jumpsuits.
It was a shame that Holden ended up the only “the sky is falling” characters, but I have no doubt that he's right. He's the one who saw the real danger of the murderbots. It would be nice to see more of him again later, and maybe some more of Hyrum and Loki too, as they along with Gabe were interesting characters.
As before, the story ended too soon. I'm looking forward to reading more.

The second episode and just as good as the first one.
I really love the concept and the episodes, but I have to admit that I didn't keep up with the releases of the other episodes.
As much as I am intrigued by this concept of books being released in episodes and written by different people, I found out that I prefer books to be books and be able to read the whole thing in one go.

I wasn't completely sure when I read the first episode of ReMade, but this one I quite liked. It has a flavour of both The 100 and Lost and while there is a lot to it that remains unexplained, I'm becoming more and more interested as to what is happening to the ReMade characters.
The serials are all rather short so they are easily read in between. I will be reading more episodes soon!
Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

I'm always amazed at a comic book's ability to tell a story in a few short pages - and now I'm completely awed by the ability of this team of writers to do just the same...and without graphics. When you only have 39 pages to suck a reader in and keep them guessing for a whole dang week, well, best of luck to you. It's no short feat in the YA world.
But it isn't luck that's keeping my attention; it's the curiosity and characters that have me coming back weekly. Space elevators? Giant alien spiders? Zombie (?) teens? What in the heck is going on here? Episode two opens where episode one left off, with Holden and Seyah jamming the elevator and coming across another group of teens. They're all wondering what is going on - and were they dead? Because that's what they last remember
What I love about this story is how intentional everything is, including the cast of characters. When I mentioned that to Andrea, she shared how important it was to the group of authors to develop a diverse cast. These are real teens, not the white washed group that is far too often pervasive in YA. They have to find a way to work together, including May, the main character in this story, who is allergic to everything and unsure of where her next meal will come from.

The second episode that's written by Andrea Phillips, introduces us new characters. May the over achiever is again another teenager that had her whole life planned ahead of her. She studied day and night, took part in multiple after school activities and all that so that she could be the 1st Chinese-American in the Supreme Court. She's definitely not all that happy with her life I think. All she does is study and now that she is stranded in that not earthly jungle, I hope that she takes that chance and starts experiencing life more. She also has allergies, but we soon learn that whatever those caretakers did to those teens, it changed them and took away illnesses, scars, allergies. As a team the teenagers are trying to build shelter, find food and water and their ultimate goal is survival! They destroyed the elevator which means that for the time being they can relax and not be afraid of the spider robots. We also have some new characters like Cole, Jing-Wei, Loki, Gabe, Nevaeh, Hyrum, Wesley. We will probably see their backstory later on. I liked the diversity of the characters! The writing was okay. All in all, it was enjoyable. It had elements from the 100 and it was a fast read!
