![]() ![]() ![]() Shadows has a very different feel to the first book in this trilogy. And, back in Rule, it's difficult to know who is for the Elders and who is working against them. Alex, left among the Changed, must simply try to survive. Lena and Chris escape Rule - but to what end? Peter is captured by the militia who offer him no protection at all. He is desperate to find Alex but the journey back to her is fraught with the danger of bounty hunters in search of the young - both Changed and unChanged. Alex believes that he died months ago, but he was taken in by an elderly couple and nursed back to health. The power struggle in Rule had reached catastrophic proportions and there were so many lies and so much deceit it was difficult to know who was betraying who. As Ashes ended, Alex had been thrown out of Rule - a township that survived the zap, at least in part - as an offering to the Changed. Alex was hiking in the wilderness when it all happened and although she isn't Changed, her senses have heightened and it seems the progression of her terminal brain tumour may have halted. Many of the young have become Changed - cannabilistic monsters with a penchant for violence. The world has been devastated by a catastrophic electromagnetic pulse. Beware: it's impossible to review Shadows without giving spoilers for Ashes, the first book in this dystopian trilogy, which ended on a huge cliffhanger. ![]()
