It is fast-paced and slow-burning between Blake and Gabriel, which makes perfect sense considering the setup. I loved how the story progressed, with the danger and the camaraderie. I also completely understood Gabriel's explanation of how long he had known Blake. Blake's brain is switched on in a way that he has struggled with in the past, but that helps him see things others can't, which helps them come up with plans of action and escape.
It finishes on a quiet note that left me wanting the next book immediately. This is a great post-apocalyptic story with characters I have come to care about. I can't wait to see what happens next. Highly recommended by me.

Having watched The Simpsons as a child, and to now being 24 years of age, this game is an exceptional additional to The Simpsons franchise. Including original characters, and a new storyline, this is an immersive experience for all those that The Simpsons ignites nostalgia.
In an apocalyptic scenario, you are now the 'Sky Finger.' Responsible for restoring the town of Springfield, you will find new characters, unlock additional decorations that you can use to rebuild Springfield, and immerse yourselves within the storylines that are pertinent to each individual character.
Whilst playing The Simpsons - Tapped Out you are also able to add friends! Once you have became friends, you are able to visit eachothers individual Springfields and earn money and 'Friend Points,' all of which help you to unlock additional items.
The inclusion of a negative review aspect which is 'In-Game Purchases,' is to ensure that an honest and unbiased review is provided. To an extent, the promotion of spending money to obtain virtual bonuses is inherent in this game. However, it is not dependent on In-Game Purchases and you are able to fully immerse yourselves within this game without spending money.

For an established YA writer, this book is surprisingly wrought with errors and would make an English major cringe. It was a poorly written novel with a multitude of punctuation, grammar, and spelling errors. Those completely detracted from the book and made it difficult to read the novel fluidly. There was an overuse of commas, "For days upon days she had been left in the room, alone, in total silence, with little food and water, the weight of solitude becoming ever more oppressive, the silence a heaviness that she could not shake, punishment for refusing to do as she was told, punishment for being what she was." I ran out of breath just reading that incredibly long, run on sentence. It also illustrates another example, the banal repetitiveness. Some examples would be, "She walked down the road, the road that was smooth." Or "The fire that raged within her. The fire that destroyed and consumed. The fire that would destroy and consume her..." How many times does one need to write the fire? Many of the sentences are just reworded versions of the one that came before it. Unnecessarily repetitive and it makes the book sound like a novice writer threw it together in a slap-dash manner with no editor to speak of.
It also cannot decide what genre it wishes to fall under. The magical elements and new species lend itself to a label of fantasy, like books about faeries or nymphs. Paranormal romance perhaps, for the love story that blossoms over the course of the novel? Or the more recently popular zombie novels, with their diseases and alterations of the human dNA, like Forest of Teeth and Bones? Perhaps its a post-apocalyptic or dystopian style novel, akin to Divergent or the Hunger Games - with its frozen world, scarce resources, and tyrannical governments. Whatever it is, the fact that it cannot decide makes the book quite confusing. It does not flow well as a result of the colliding and conflicting worlds. There also is no world-building, which is incredibly important to me in a book. And character building, or even character personalities? Almost non-existent. I would recommend this book to young teen readers, but not anyone who finds themselves frequently noticing errors in novels (even minor ones)as this will drive you crazy. I almost didn't finish the first chapter because the book was so poorly written, but I wanted to see if it would improve.
