Life After War #6
Carved in Stone
Safe Haven is going to try making a permanent dystopian settlement in a Georgia mountain and every soul in their camp is ready for the break. They have traveled for more than nine months since the apocalypse. Now, they can finally quit living from trucks and try to rebuild what they've lost. The promised luxuries the descendants are going to exhume from the ashes of society are being anticipated eagerly. Except... More Horror is Coming Safe Haven thinks they've endured the worst the apocalypse had to offer, but they've actually been lucky. That's about to change and the descendants can't stop it. Magic is powerless against radiation and other effects of a nuclear war. When Yellowstone blows, it forces a hard choice: Do we stand or do we run?

(Series through Book 8)
First I would like to say I enjoyed the series. The idea of a group of people (Safe Haven) traveling across a post-war USA, fighting blood-thirsty Mexican bandits (slavers), radiologically-infected half Zombies, and a nature that wants back what has been taken from her kept my attention through the eight books. The author did push my imagination with witchcraft, unrealistic logistics, and relationships that stretched normal conventions, but I didn't have a problem keeping up with the characters.
Now, all that being said I was extremely annoyed with hundreds of simple typographic errors, the use of incorrect terms/words, non-contiguous plot shifts, and a general lack of simple copy editing. So there you have it. Enjoy the series, ignore all the errors and you'll have a good read.

This was another complex and detailed instalment of this massive apocalyptic story. Angela has a huge task, her gifts also a curse. Will Safe Haven ever be safe? Unfortunately, there's always danger lurking. The descendants are intriguing, while nature is disgruntled at human behaviour and other animals gather to fight.
Thoughts and feelings are an important part to this story and gave even further depth to the tale, the plot and the atmosphere.
There were battles galore alongside betrayal, twists and surprises.
A lengthy episode but worth reading.
Recommended.

Carved Stone and broken lives. NO SPOILERS.
Book six of Angela White’s “Life After War” is amazing. Much has changed and yet nothing is different.
The herd is growing and so is evil. Winter, a long nuclear one is just ahead. The cave is complete but the herd is not ready to live underground.

I love Angela White's writing. No matter what the story is it does not take away from her talent as a writer. Carved in stone is not a battle story but is very good in detaitailing the characters so you get to know them better. This book is part of a great series. You really do not want to miss this series.

Whew, what a roller coaster that was. I read it in a couple of days and couldn't wait until I could pick it up again.

I didn't realize there's still two more books bought the series just getting through it. There is some interesting stuff in it but its rather long on things that don't need to know.

A fascinating read
Though I truly enjoyed the storyline, it appears that each book in the series is in greater need of a good editor than the one before. As an English teacher, I cringed at every word error, and there were many. Ms. White certainty knows how to build a compelling story, but the woeful editing and lack of careful revision make it impossible for her to enter the ranks of best selling authors.

War extends to dealing with the changes in the physical world as well as
fighting and or incorporating new surviving smaller groups. More permanent domicile is being developed to protect against the more destructive weather in the coming winter. This was more interesting to me because the Safe Haven levels of leadership developed enabling extraordinarily ingenuity in design and execution are more evident. This was better than Book 7.

After reading the book before this, I was nervous about this one being as bad as last. But it was obvious early on that time was taken to write this book. It was great and up to the amazing standards that Angela White set in the first books. Great writing and characters are more flushed out.

I've been reading the entire series and I am completely engrossed in the story. My only issue is number of grammatical errors in the later books (ebooks). It takes away from the story a bit for me. Even with all of the errors, I absolutely have been sucked into the storyline and cannot wait for the next installment.

As always....a great book.
I was hooked the second I started reading.
Fantastic Story. Could not put it down.
Kept me turning through the pages to see what happened next.
