YA Apocalyptic and Dystopian Fiction discussion

We finish this year with the Razorland series.
October: Enclave (Razorland #1)
November: Outpost (Razorland #2)
December: Horde (Razorland #3)


Please join me in reading this series and I hope you enjoy it.

oh yes, I have read the first one. I didn't know the next two were out :D

I did read these, but a while ago so my memory is fuzzy. But I do remember, at least from the first book, wondering why all the survivors appeared to be (or were described to be) white.

I read the first last month and am working on the second now, and I don't recall much physical description at all. I would expect the people in the underground enclaves to grow paler over the generations as they have no need for melanin to protect them from the sun, but I don't think they can have gone too many generations down that path, given that (view spoiler)[Deuce seems to have been able to adapt to sunlight exposure over time (hide spoiler)].

I really loved this series. I actually read these books maybe 3 years ago along with the novella that was published. Very good reads. Am I the only person that fell in love with Fade from day 1?

Is anyone else reading along. I've been enjoying this trilogy more than I though I would, and I'm interested to see this month how things get resolved in Horde. Outpost ended on a bit of a cliffhanger!

I was trying to remember...I don't think I was taken with him right away, but he's definitely grown on me. He certainly didn't deserve what happened to him in book 2.

Has anyone read The Day Boy and the Night Girl? George MacDonald was born in December, so I picked it this month for a birthday challenge in another group. It's a fairy tale, pretty short and easy to read. I'm interested to see how far Ann Aguire takes the parallel in book three.

This is the series that started my obsession with Dystopian books! I am going to reread and join the discussion! Before I go I will say that I didn't get much of an ethnicity description for the characters. Also, it took me quite a while into the series before I could warm up to Fade. Hard to shake a first impression.

I just finished the last one today, and I was pleased with the way it ended.
