Loved this! Thank for the ARC. This was an excellent third book in the series, this was such an emotional journey, a must read.
Grace Hamilton is a prolific author of "after the world as we know it" series. She has many outstanding books to her credit. FINAL DAYS is book #3 in the After The End series. Picking up right after the end of book #2, this group of survivors continues to grow stronger through the losses and pain. Each will learn they are stronger than they thought as they face the hostile groups who kill for their own survival. These books are thrillers in the apocalypse genre, building tension with each new chapter until the violence explodes and it's a shock who will survive.
Grace Hamilton is a top notch author. She has written many, many apocalypse survival books and they are all complete stories without copying or repeating characters or communities. I've read many of them and am now qualified to survive an apocalypse should one find my neighborhood.
The story follows a young protagonist who finds themselves at a crossroads in life. Living in a small village, they are faced with the harsh realities of their environment, including poverty and social injustice. The protagonist’s journey begins when they encounter a mysterious thief who becomes an unlikely mentor. This thief, although initially seen as an enemy due to their criminal activities, teaches the protagonist valuable lessons about survival, cunning, and the importance of making choices that define one’s character.
As the plot unfolds, the protagonist grapples with moral dilemmas that challenge their understanding of right and wrong. They must navigate complex relationships with friends and foes alike while uncovering secrets about their own past and identity. The narrative is rich with vivid descriptions of medieval life, from bustling market scenes to quiet moments of reflection in nature.
