I wanted to like this book. I didn’t.

This series looks to be good so don’t base it on this book.

Let’s start in the positive. Great idea having a set of characters in different situations over several books. This one is very realistic- Forest and city fires in S California. Many could argue that this could happen much easier than an EMP, super virus or CME.

The imagery of the fire and the firemen and women was great. 5 stars. You feel like you are in the middle of that inferno. The fire was the main character of this book for me.

I liked several of the characters in the first book Ash but they didn’t hit home in this book. There was a lot of characters for a 5 hour book. Too many I think.

I willl get the Next book in the series which I think is about a flood.
