Enjoyed this book by C Robert Cargill. First time reading him, and the book was great. I enjoyed the plot, the pacing, and especially the characters. Will be reading more from him in the future. #AlltheAshWeLeaveBehind #NetGalley

I am a little disappointed in this novella. I am a huge fan of Sea of Rust and enjoyed Day Zero but All the Ash We Leave Behind didn’t work for me. I just wanted something different if not more. I would much rather have a sequel to Sea of Rust.

The story does give additional insight to the world Cargill created in the few years after humans/robots are/still at war ). For a novella it makes sense the story is so sort and taking place in a blip of time but that’s war isn’t it? Everything moved so fast you blink and it’s over.

3 stars because:
Sea of Rust was absolutely amazing
Day Zero was good
I can’t give this novella the same rating as it did not match the other two.

Thanks to NetGalley for the early copy. This was a welcome, albeit brief, return to the world of "Sea of Rust," and "Day Zero." It's a world where a 4-foot tall, plush, anthropomorphic tiger can be a child's best friend and a brutal killing machine. This story gives you a little more insight into what happens after the human/bot war. My only complaint about this novella is that I wish it was longer. New characters are introduced, and due to the story length, you want to learn more about them, but the time just isn't there. I want more. But it's definitely recommended reading. I hope there's more coming.
