From the Fire #2
The Cage
On April 4th, 2014, 6 billion and 783 million people died in the blinding white fireballs of the Pan-Global Nuclear Holocaust. Sophie Saint-Germain, wife and scientist and mother of one, was not among them.
She lived for a time, and so her words endure.
The reclamation of her terrifying story is a miracle in itself. Uncovered during the Shoshone Geyser Basin archaeological excavations of 2316, Sophie’s unearthed diary reveals the most secret confessions of the only known female survivor of the Holocaust in central Colorado. Her diary reveals the truths behind our legends of the High Shelter, the White Fire, the Great Dying, the Coming of the One, and the Gray Rain Exodus, her horrifying journey into the wasteland made with the sole conviction that her daughter, Lacie, was still alive.
For these are the first of words, chosen by the Woman of the Black Hawk: FROM THE FIRE / GIVE ME SHELTER / THAT I MIGHT ENDURE THE STORM, / GIVE ME THE STRENGTH / TO PRAY MY DAUGHTER WILL PREVAIL.
From the Plague Land, from the Fire. This is the book of the woman who was, this is the codex of our ancestors’ revelation.
An episodic narrative, FROM THE FIRE, EPISODE II: THE CAGE is the second installment of a serialized novel by Kent David Kelly. This unforgettable novella comprises 16,600 words, 65 printed pages, and is preceded by the #1 bestselling action/adventure e-book EPISODE I: END OF DAYS (ASIN B0082SJY0O, http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0082SJY0O).

It finally got good at about 65%. By "good" I mean that the story actually started to progress. The last 20% or so saved this from a 2 star.
His writing style isn't really my favorite, but he does have the makings of an interesting story here. I will say that, at a different time or mood, I might enjoy the thoroughness of the descriptions, or the constant reminders of how fragile she is mentally, but as it is now, it just doesn't work for me.
I got these first two volumes free on the kindle, and honestly, unless I find the next volume for free, I won't be continuing.

Wow, Sophie's story continues. I found this second installment to be more powerful than the first. We start to see a bit more of Sophie's life before and I found that meant I could relate to her more.
This installment had me on the edge the whole way through, and I had to buy part III straight away!

March 3, 2014Still way too much flowery description. The last 20%ish got lots better but it was still too much describing.
