Chronicle Supposing Books Ashen Winter (Ashfall #2)
It's been over six months since the eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano. Alex and Darla have been staying with Alex’s relatives, trying to cope with the new reality of the primitive world so vividly portrayed in Ashfall, the first book in this series. It's also been six months of waiting for Alex's parents to return from Iowa. Alex and Darla decide they can wait no longer and must retrace their journey into Iowa to find and bring back Alex's parents to the tenuous safety of Illinois. But the landscape they cross is even more perilous than before, with life-and-death battles for food and power between the remaining communities. When the unthinkable happens, Alex must find new reserves of strength and determination to survive.Define Books In Favor Of Ashen Winter (Ashfall #2)

Buddy read with Amy, Melissa, and Sarah!4-4.5 starsNot quite as good as the first one but still immensely enjoyable and compulsively readable (god I sound like one of those starred reviews from Kirkus or Booklist or whoever). Anyway, don't be discouraged by the size of these books. The chapters are short and damn near every time they end with a cliffhanger of some kind so you HAVE to keep going. That's one of the things I love about Mullin's writing. As with the first one, this felt very3.5 starsThe super volcano has erupted and we are six months later. It feels like so much has happened that it can't be just that short of a period. Survival is hell, folks. The ashen winter has set in and it's never frigging ever warm. (Smart reading when it's cold as hell outside) Alex and Darla are going looking for Alex's parents. So they saddle up Bikezilla and head off into that frigging cold world. (Yes, I don't like cold so that part stands out in my head)Then the book starts running
It is a well known fact that the second book in a trilogy tends to be the weakest book of the series. It drags, it sets up the story for the epic conclusion, and it is simply an all-round fest of boredom for the reader. Mike Mullins Ashen Winter however, is (thankfully) one of the few exceptions to this rule. Ashen Winter is filled with danger, romance, and heart-pounding action that is certain not to disappoint. While Ashfall followed the story of Alex and his journey to reach his
Ashfall - one of my favourite books of all time - could not have had a better sequel in Ashen Winter. Picking up 6 months after Ashfall's ending, we are thrown into a deep desolation; the dark, cold aftermath of a Supervolcano eruption.Alex and Darla, the fabulous couple who met in Ashfall are leaving the routine and relative safety of the farm to go find Alex's parents. What we have here, friends, is a non stop--and I mean, zero freaking breaks!--action packed thrill ride that will leave you so
I loved it. Better than the first! Review coming in September.
I really wanted to love this, but in comparison with Ashfall this was a let down. What didn't I like about it? First off, there is way too many action sequences, and not only that, but they are over the top ridiculous and unbelievable. Yes, I'm talking about the whole truck scene that went on and on to name only one. Now I realize everything in fiction doesn't have to be based on reality but I never felt that way with Ashfall. I did believe it and it could happen ..this was just the opposite.
