I can forgive the romance, especially since we are spared a love triangle. This is actually quite a refreshing angle. I can forgive a zombie story not being scary and the humans being the bad guys for once. As for the writing style: especially the WE chapters were frustratingly confusing and there were too many jumps and switches between past, present and the different characters to make for a coherent story. Once again, I felt that the story in general lacks a proper plot and that both plot and characters were mostly all over the place and running into random trouble instead of following a coherent line. The Living follows the same structure as the sequel and even intensifies the confusing writing style and structure as the end is coming near. Still, part of me hoped that this final book of the Warm Bodies series would be an improvement and a satisfying conclusion to R and Julie’s story. Why? I was considerably underwhelmed by the sequel, and I had serious problems with the writing style. Thank you! ***īefore I start I have to make a confession and say that I probably would never have decided to read The Living if I would have read The Burning World before requesting a copy of this final book. *** A copy of this book was kindly provided to me by Netgalley and Zola Books in exchange for an honest review. “It’s easier to fall than to climb, and yet against all logic, life keeps rising.” 2023 Netgalley And Edelweiss Reading Challenge.2017 Netgalley And Edelweiss Reading Challenge.
