So, this episode is from yet another author and yet another narrator, and boy do I love her! I think Nevaeh is my favorite character so far! I love the inclusion of diverse characters and how all the POV characters we got so far are extremely relatable! I'm still really curious to know what the hell happened, but unfortunately I only have ARCs for the first 3 episodes, haha.

Nevaeh is awesome; the 23 are lucky to have her skills!

Book – ReMade – Season 1, Episode 3: Home, Perilous Home
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 **
Another fantastically exciting installment of the series!
It was so easy to connect with Nevaeh, because I was her, at one point. I've been the teenager going through chemo, with (Non)Hodgkin's lymphoma and I absolutely related to everything that happened to her within the “past” section of the story. From the lack of will to fight any longer, to the weakness and tiredness, to all the things she'd miss, it just felt easy to know and like her.
When we returned to the “now” part, where they're all alone in this weird and unusual place, I still loved her. She was forged from her experience with cancer, but in a good way – even if she has ended up babying the boys!
The characterisation didn't make my favourites – Hyrum, Cole and Holden – all less exciting to read about. I still want to know all about them, only I'm now adding Loki to my list of curiosities. Oh, and Sebastian with that guyliner. :)
I'm eager to see where this is all leading and hope that Holden and Seyah get vindicated, even if that means an attack by killer robots. Still, can't be worse than killer rabbits, giggle inducing plants and a very-possibly-but-might-not-be sabertooth, can it?

Neveah is a great character and it was wonderful to see things from her point of view and to learn more about the world through her eyes. The series is still entertaining and I would still recommend it. I couldn't wait for the next installment. 4 out of 5 stars.

I'm starting to see a certain rhythm in this serial. So far, each episode focuses on a single of the teens and the reason why they died. Episode three specifically focuses on Naveah, who had previously died from cancer, and seems to be the only one to be very glad to be alive.
The rest of them are just trying to find a new way to live, where ever it is they are now. But foraging for food proves more difficult than previously thought. And more dangers are lurking in the shadows.
So far, I've found the episodes entertaining, but no more special than any number of YA dystopian stories I've already read. The advantage of all of them having previously died or in what kind of world they currently are remains unanswered, but will probably not be solved before the end of the first season, episode 15. Until then, I will read on.
Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I am having a BLAST with ReMade. These bite-sized morsels are fully contained stories that are unfolding pieces of the larger world and it's just enough to keep me satisfied yet coming back for me!
In Episode 1, we had giant alien spiders and space elevators. Episode 2 introduced us to the not-quite-Earth world that the undead teens are now occupying. This week we meet Nevaeh, a character who's happy to have the second chance she never thought she would have. Eager to please her peers (and equally eager to survive), Nevaeh is the medical guru and helps spot some gnarly plant life that could our 108 teens into rabbit food - no pun intended.
Carrie Harris' writing will move you through the story yet let you stop to smell the flowers, if you dare. Our cast of characters grows week after week as we get to know the life and untimely death of each of them along with the expanded world that was created not by one author, but a writer's room. I can't wait to see who we get to know next week and what they'll face as they try to survive in death.

That was a neat episode. We got to know more characters and there were things going on, things that weren't solved in the same episode they appeared.
