i have just finished reading MICHAEL McBRIDE'S ''GOD'S END'' trilogy. i am not often moved to leave reviews but i felt in the case of these 3 books i just had to say something.
i read book 1: ''THE FALL'' in a day. i read book 2: ''TRAIL OF BLOOD'' in a day and waited with baited breath until book 3: ''BLIZZARD OF SOULS'' arrived, this too was devoured in a day.
book 1: ''THE FALL'' starts off with world war III and a young man prophesized to be the SECOND COMING.
book 2: ''TRAIL OF BLOOD'' finds the survivors clinging to life in a nuclear winter and awaiting the FINAL BATTLE.
book 3: ''BLIZZARD OF SOULS'' finds the remnant travelling to face the final battle with DEATH and his legions.
i am a great fan of apocalyptic stories and these 3 books are the best i've ever read on the subject.
i froze with the characters in the nuclear winter. i cried at the losses, i dripped sweat in the heat in book 3. i wont give away the plot, i hate it when i get too much information in reviews.
the characters were totally believable, the vision of the post apocalyptic earth stunned me to the core, the description of the emergence of the 4 riders of the apocalypse were so beautifully described i could see and smell them!! all in all the ''GOD'S END'' TRILOGY is a masterful, triumphant, feel good, scary, sumptious read!!! an absolute must for any reader who likes amazing characters, horror, blood sweat and tears, triumph over evil, descriptive and imaginary style books!!
