The Way We Fall (Fallen World, #1)
by
by
4.5 star
“Most people think the scariest thing is knowing that you’re going to die. It’s not. It’s knowing you might have to watch every single person you’ve ever loved – or even liked – waste away while you just stand there.”
Which is worse: something deadly you can see, or an invisible killer. If you chose the latter, then get ready for one scary ride.
The Way We Fall is by no means a scary book. It's not one of those books where you sleep with the lights on, checking to make sure you have a weapon by your bedside table. It's scary in the sense that something like a deadly epidemic could happen. And as we know throughout history, it had. The Black Plague, the Spanish Influenza, and many others that have killed hundreds of thousands of people. And it could happen soon. That alone is what makes this book scary.
“Our virus is a lot smarter than the ones you see in zombie movies. It doesn't make its victims stagger around slobbering and moaning so anyone in their right minds would run the other way. It gets you cozying up to people so you cough and sneeze it right into their faces.
We just need the vaccine. Then we'll be okay.”
I am a huge fan of anything apocalyptic. Virus outbreak, nuclear holocaust, natural disasters that cause massive damage. Those are my type of books.
Through out reading this, I was legit worried for Kaelyn and the other people. This book is no walk in the park. People die. Young and old. And it's not pretty.
“This is what we do. We make tea and read books and watch people die.”
One thing I liked was how it all took place on an island. Just imagine an island of people cut off from the outside world. People trying to survive on the limited resources. Chaos is bound to happen.
“You learn a lot when you know no one else is going to do things for you.”
The Way We Fall shows first hand of humanity slowly slipping away. It was scary but so damn good. I would definitely recommend this one!
Thanks for reading my review!
