Review:
I had high expectations for this, given all of the hype surrounding this series, and it did not disappoint. My first impressions of this was, "Damn I love these characters and I don't even know them yet!". For some odd reason I was instantly drawn to Alana and Marko from the first scene, which honestly never happens to me. I usually have to get to know my characters before I can be attached and surprisingly that was not the case with this. I loved seeing into Hazel's, the baby, thoughts as well, which is a very different point of view to take, and in my opinion a risk, but in this case it was a risk well taken.
I loved the graphics and you can really tell that the world was well thought out and not just thrown together with a bow wrapped around it. Even though this world was nothing nice, I loved how alive it was. Everything was something to either be afraid of or to be intrigued by.
I laughed, I related, I freaking loved this!
