After The End by Jamie Campbell
4.0
Stuck in a bunker for 17 years. Never seeing the world outside. Never smelling the air or tasting the sweet sense of freedom. Locked inside 4 walls with nobody. Then one day a knock comes on the outside door. What's Maisy to do. Her supplies have dwindled. Her parents have long since gone. Maybe this is a rescue. After several hours she opens the door to Garlind. A boy with a story of ships that can save them. They have to get to the coast. Shes reluctant to leave her safe haven but knows eventually she will have to. Maybe this is the time.
This book has a great storyline. Girl in a bunker because the world is going to be hit by a meteor. Her parents were scientists and decided to go underground. It never says how long they planned to be underground. But that doesn't really matter to this story. After 17 years maisy is seeing the blue sky for the first time. Her first look at the world she's only known from books she's read. She trusts Garlind and his desire to get to the coast for rescue ships. What follows is the discovery of a world destroyed. They have to scavenge everywhere they walk. To get food that hopefully will still nourish them. I liked this journey they took. It gives a great description of decay and destruction. There are so many scenarios that happen during their journey that keeps this book interesting and believable. I would recommend to those fascinated with dystopian/ post apocalyptic novels. A great beginning to a series. Cant wait to continue the journey with book 2.
Thanks to Netgalley for this copy I've read.
