Relation As Books Ashen Winter (Ashfall #2)
It's been over six months since the eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano. Alex and Darla have been staying with Alex’s relatives, trying to cope with the new reality of the primitive world so vividly portrayed in Ashfall, the first book in this series. It's also been six months of waiting for Alex's parents to return from Iowa. Alex and Darla decide they can wait no longer and must retrace their journey into Iowa to find and bring back Alex's parents to the tenuous safety of Illinois. But the landscape they cross is even more perilous than before, with life-and-death battles for food and power between the remaining communities. When the unthinkable happens, Alex must find new reserves of strength and determination to survive.Rating Epithetical Books Ashen Winter (Ashfall #2)

That was exhausting. I am tired, annoyed, frustrated, and hugely disappointed. Writing a review for this one is gonna hurt. ----My problems with this second installment of Mike Mullin's Ashfall series are many I'm afraid to say, and too big to ignore. I really like this guy, and I wanted this novel to be great in the shadow of its awesome predecessor. Not. Even. Close. Without any spoilers for Ashfall or Ashen Winter, here is some of what's caused my sadness and frustration. Anyone who knows meThat was intense! Imagine the unimaginable the huge super volcano of Yellowstone has erupted. The Midwestern US is under a foot or so of volcanic ash. Its cold. Winter is extra-long, extending into the summer months because volcanic ash blocks out the sun. Resources are virtually non-existent. Society, or whatever is left of it, has changed for the worse.Ashen Winter takes place 10 months after the events of Ashfall. Sixteen year old Alex and his girlfriend Darla have been reunited with Alexs
I am a little bit late with this review as I am nearly done with book 3 in this series, and I am fully aware that strictly speaking and literary speaking, this book was not a four star read. On the other hand, we need to remember that fiction is not only about the perfection of form and meaning, but also something that appeals to wider audience despite its literary faults, and thus serves an honorable purpose of escaping ( although it would be hard to escape to the world of perpetual winter :-),

I loved it. Better than the first! Review coming in September.
second-reading review is now included after this adorable picture of me!WHO WOULD LIKE TO BE JEALOUS OF ME!!??first of all, i have this ARC.5 months before the book comes out, right? but what if i told you i have already read it?? because mike mullin let me read it in manuscript form and give him feedback way back in december! and it was great! but now i have to read this ARC because i was promised a character was named after me in the revisions! but i am told i do not come to a good end! thanks
I really wanted to love this, but in comparison with Ashfall this was a let down. What didn't I like about it? First off, there is way too many action sequences, and not only that, but they are over the top ridiculous and unbelievable. Yes, I'm talking about the whole truck scene that went on and on to name only one. Now I realize everything in fiction doesn't have to be based on reality but I never felt that way with Ashfall. I did believe it and it could happen ..this was just the opposite.
