Aftermath (Remnants)

Rating:
Summary: Not the best, but still good
Review: I completley agree with the last reviewer, this is probably one of the worst books in the series. That said K.A. never writes a bad book, so its still worth reading. Be warned YOU MUST READ EACH BOOK CHRONOLOGICALLY FROM NUMBER ONE! A lot of this book is the renmants walking around with the very boring Marauders.
But it is Required reading if you want to follow the story of the remnants. I can't wait for the final two books in the series, but i'll be sad to say goodbye to Jobs, Mo'steel, 2Face and the gang. In the words of one of the Marauders "J'ou should definitely read this book just so j'ou can be prepared for the final j'ou- i mean two books"

Summary: Oh, dear. . .
Review: I have to admit, I've been a big fan of Remnants for about seven months now, and I stood by after Lost and Found, and whole Dreamstorm was better, Aftermath sunk back to 3 star level.

If you're a fan you should definitely read this one. Remnants is one of those series where you'll be completely lost if you don't read them in order. Otherwise, just don't.

Some good things about it is that Billy is not dead. The ending was good, and we have a cliffhanger ending. I don't understand why Echo's on the cover. She only made a 10 page appearance and has very little relevance to the story.

At any rate there was little story. But it ahd a message. The Remnants taught the Marauders to be human again. Survival does bad things to your humanity.

But never fear, I have a strong feeling the next book will be REALLY great. The sample was, anyway.

To KA: Great work! keep it coming!

Summary: It's all about Mo
Review: Okay, maybe it wasn't all about Mo--but this is one of the first books to give him the focus, and I think that this was a good thing. Mo is an interesting character, and one of the greatest mistakes K.A has made is giving him only 'side kick' status. That said this book isn't as bad in my opinon as some of the other reviewers seem to be making it out to be. I found the Marauders to be an interesting people and the books second focus is most certainly them. Also nice were bits thrown in to keep suspense--including an appearance by Billy, and gasp--the last of the missing remnants if the voice he heard is to be believed. I definatly agree that the books must be read in order. It really is a shame that this series never caught on to the popularity of Animorphs, so if you stopped reading, or haven't started I would go to the bookstore and give this series a try--it really is brilliant.

Summary: Not the greatest, but still good
Review: This remnants was probably somewhere along the bottom of the best in the series. The whole book was about the Marauders and Remnants (the Alphas stay behind, unfortunately) traveling to the Dark Zone. Very boring.

Some bad things were:

Billy gets a half chapter appearance. He needs more appearances.

Again, no Tate.

No major deaths. Okay, two Marauders die, but they were like the least important characters.

The final battle was WAY too short. I know the Remnants have done some pretty unbelievable stuff, but I think Mo'Steel isn't exactly Sir Galahad. The fight is based on TWO attacks!

Some good things are:

Well, the Missing Five have finally been revealed. Not surprisingly, they have formed a connection with Billy.

Jobs and Mo'Steel temporarily break up.

Ending is, once again, a cliffhanger.

2Face becomes a jumper to conclusions.

We have finally heard about the Source.

The sample chapter is awesome.

What I really don't understand is how K.A. is going to wrap up the series in two more books. Really, one, since the next one is completely focused on tate, I think. That means she will probably have to hurry it along, which I really don't want.
