I’ve put off writing this review for a week or so because I didn’t really know what to say because most of what I want to say will spoil it!! It started with, and this isn’t a spoiler, nearly everyone dying of a virus within the first few passages. This in itself isn’t anything new with this type of book, but we don’t find out how the virus came to be at all!! Then we have multiple POVs, which again isn’t anything new, but there wasn’t any character development at all. I just didn’t care about any of them at all!
Plot wise, it fell flat too. Apart from not knowing how the Pox came to be, it’s quite slow going and had no development either. I mean, how could a prison function with only 2 men, plus why would they leave just 2 prisoners go?? It didn’t make sense. I just didn’t connect with anything in the book, and I really don’t think I’ll continue on with the series.
Kevin Pierce was just as good as he always is! He has a pleasant voice and always delivers a great performance, I do have to say though, that he needs to work a little on his Irish Accent, it was pretty bad!! But I’m Irish so I know a good one when I hear it. Other than that, I enjoyed his performance.
