I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE END OF THE WORLD. Technically, I guess it isn't over yet... because I'm still here. It's been two years since the government forced the 'solution' upon our war-torn world. A solution that I helped create. A drug that ultimately mutated and eliminated 99% of the population, forcing us to live behind the sanctuary's walls. They told me I was one of the lucky ones— part of the 1% that survived —but I never believed that. My name is Asher Collins. My family was taken from me, my sanity was stolen, and my hope... My hope died a while ago. They said I was one of the lucky ones, but that was never true. I'm just part of the 1% left waiting to die. Because now, the monsters aren't outside the walls— they're within us.
Emotionally exhausting, but worth it. The author made me feel like a part of the story, and it was absolutely terrifying. I’m grateful for the humor that one character, Lilith, adds to the story. Her sunshine attitude & relentless optimism allowed me to feel hope, and while the story is incredibly dark, I found myself laughing multiple times throughout the book, even though so much of the story is a tragic tale. I LOVE how almost all the plot holes & questions I had from 99% Down were answered in the “Then” chapters in this book. It is amazing how the dots keep connecting. And I love that there is finally a little romance going on! Not so much that it takes over the whole book, but enough to fill that void. It was a long book, but I finished it in less than 3 days. I couldn’t put it down. Honestly, I’m glad it was long. Anything less would have left me with questions. Seriously, I am in love with this series.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading these books and getting to know each and every character. I’ve read the first two in this series, this is a dystopian apocalypse series with a bit of a distant twist to it and I cannot wait for the final book to come out! These books can be graphic at times which I don’t mind and they switch between different character POVs and past/current narratives. I personally enjoy books written in this style but I am aware that it is not for everyone. This story reminds us there are many different kinds of monsters out there! I hope y’all enjoy reading these as much as I have and I look forward to seeing what she comes up with next!
As soon as Chaselyn Roderick posted on her Facebook that the sequel to 99% Down was available, I immediately downloaded the eBook. Then I kept checking Amazon till the paperback was available, and ordered it as soon as it was on Amazon. Why was I so excited about this book? Because I had high high expectations.
This is a sequel to 99% Down, which was an amazing YA post-apocalyptic thriller. The previous book left a high standard for a sequel, and Chaselyn managed to surpass my expectations.
I was so excited to read this book, and I was not disappointed.
01% Falling is a mentally draining page-turner, which will leave you wondering "what happens to them next" at the end of each chapter. There's no way to not get invested in at least one of the characters as they struggle to find freedom amidst a dying country.
