Reviews

[Julie Powell · Rating 5 out of 5]

This second series of Thown Away is just as intriguing yet disturbing as the first...showing just how 'down' the human race has sunk.

It's fast-paced for sure, however, I think the story has been broken into too many pieces.

Good characters, if all male, and an enjoyable first part. I am thankful to have the omnibus edition so I can continue with the story.

I would say this first book in the second part hasn’t been thought through completely. There were several inconsistencies and i couldn’t follow the thought process of the characters at times.
The expectations Jack and his crew had about the state of the depot in the InnerZone felt off.
They expected the original slave depot but why would they?
Since Jack and the remaining leaders of JunkTown took over the JunkTown and the Facility, why would the InnerZones government still send slaves as workforce to a facility they don’t own anymore?
It would be more logical to use the remaining depot only for the logistical centre for goods to trade as described they have.
So why would they expect that? That it is indeed and surprisingly abandoned is a totally different story. But the speculations of the characters make no sense to me. The author couldn’t convince me with this work.

I read this series in boxed set format but am reviewing each book separately to get proper credit for my annual Goodreads book challenge. I thoroughly enjoyed the rich universe of characters and locations contained in this series. Once I got used to the flashback style of writing in Series 1 (parts 1-7) I went on to enjoy Series 2 even more than its predecessor (there didn't seem to be as many flashbacks in Series 2). Glynn James has a way of creating a dystopian landscape in my mind's eye, e.g., the Junklands, that really transports me away from reality and into the book. With that in mind, I am really sorry to see the book and storyline end.

An interesting direction

A really interesting direction but I think a little more on how long junk town was independent and things that were done items traded etc. would have made the whole weird empty-dust covered end of this book a little more yes more can’t wait for book 2 maybe a little back story?

Nice continuation, but could have been longer..

Nice continuation, but it could have been longer. The story ends at a pivotal place in the story with every aspect of their lives up in the air and undecided.
