Review
Eve of Man was one of my favourite books of 2019 and I was impatiently waiting for an announcement for the second on so I could delve back into this world. When I saw it on NetGalley I felt like all my dreams had come true and I’m so thankful to have been accepted to read the e-arc of the second book in this trilogy.
This book jumps straight back into the story where the first one left of, reminding us of the ending from a different perspective, which I was very thankful for! Told from three different perspectives, this story flowed exceptionally well and was the perfect middle book in this trilogy.
Eve and Bram are both brilliant characters who I absolutely adore. Eve now has a sense of freedom that she’s never expected and unfortunately it hasn’t lived up to what she thought it would be. She wants to make a change but it’s hard when she’s escaped one prison for an underground camp where she still has no control. She wants to do the right thing, even when she knows how much it could cost her.
Bram needs to learn to accept Eve’s decision which is constantly a struggle for him. He put everything on the line to save her and he just wants to protect her. He’s been somewhat forced into a leaders role with no prior experience so he’s left trying to balance everything and not ruffle any feathers.
This was such a good book and I honestly flew through the final half of the book. I needed to know how it finished and now I’m so eager for the final book in the trilogy! I ended up only having one small qualm with this book and that was that I had predicted the cliff-hanger quite early on but I’m not even bothered!
I definitely recommend continuing on with this series if you read and enjoyed the first book. I cannot wait to see where Tom and Giovanna go with the final book!
Rating: 5/5 stars
