This is the first book in the 'legendary chronicles' and it's very good. Set in a distopian future who have developed a unique way of life. The storyline is gripping, and interesting.
What I didn't like was the way the books narrative jumps between past present and future with no obvious reasoning.

Was hesitant to watch this one, even though I'd heard so many good things. Shouldn't have waited. This film is a masterpiece. It has an amazing story, wonderfully acted, and beautifully shot. Truly just an incredible gripping movie, both through the characters and their interactions, and the amazing cinematography they're put within.

Sci-fi bomb
I have enjoyed reading this masterpiece way too much. The complexity of the whole book is gripping, the whole story is a bit slow, but the way Greg goes deep into the storylines and the whole problematic is tense...

Quite a drop in quality from the first series, but still a gripping drama. Still well written and well acted, but dealing with the court case and how the town comes to terms with the aftermath of the events of the first series are not carried out with the same intensity as the first series.

If I could rate it higher than 10, I would!
I loved everything about this book: the style, the characters - everything. I found it gripping, I didn't want to put it down, but you know, real life. This is definitely one of my favourite books this year. I just want to know what happens next!

A thriller that packs a punch
A good and at times violent thriller as a wildlife ranger and young Fbi agent team up to track down a killer. Quite slow paced for the first half of the film with a lot of character development. Ultimately a satisfying thriller with a gripping finale.

The storyline is gripping but I am not a fan of Cole's writing style. She seems to favour repeating the same cliched metaphors and phrases and uses a lot of dialectal lingo which often is without definition. Her paragraph spacing is also quite awry. Apart from this it was a good storyline and believable characters.
