I was really liking the story, the situation two adult brothers, two young rescues siblings from certain death and a young woman who lost her children and her husband to the savage creatures 85% of the human race has become- the first two books were great, had a clear outline of the relationships within the small group and the heart pounding drum you get when characters you've invested your time and gien your immediate emotional sense of well being to the author's ability to keep you glued until the end-safe and glad you just spent 3 hours immersed in their world, only in this case you don't. Books 1 grabbed me from the beginning because it is about two male siblings that both like each other but follow each other's lead without arguing and they are good med, with a drive that causes them to try and do the right thing, even when it most likely will get them seriously injured if not dead. They led me flying through the pages of book 1 and book 2 and most of book 3 and then right at the end of the story it just stopped running. No shocks, no surprises, just ...nothing. It badly needs a rewrite, a real ending or a follow up act that leads notebook 4 but there's nothing. Just a match burning out. So, unless book 3 gets a rewrite it's just my worth the few hours it took to read the three volume story.
