Aftermarket Afterlife by Seanan McGuire
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Thanks to Netgalley and DAW for the prerelease copy. Below is my honest review.
I can't. There aren't words. I am struggling to write this review. Was the book good? Of course it was. It was five stars. It's Seanan-freaking-McGuire, so of course it was good. It was great. But...
It was also devastating. I wasn't prepared for this, even a little bit. I know Seanan can be brutal, but wow. WOW.
I don't want to spoil anything, so let me give you the quick rundown: All of the series leading up to this point has been about moving pieces into place. And those pieces? They're moved. And now, there is war. And neither the Covenant nor the Price-Healy clan are going to pull their punches.
Prepare yourself before reading this.
Also, this is one of those books that you REALLY need the context of the rest of the series going in, so do yourself the HUGE favor of reading all the fantastic books leading up to this one (including the three Ghost Road novels too, please and thank you). You won't regret it... though you might regret the trauma this book is likely to cause. *breaks down weeping*
HIGHLY recommended.
