~Summary~
One week ago I thought I knew exactly how I was going to spend the rest of my life: looking at the gray walls of a prison cell. Figuring out how to survive the apocalypse wasn’t something I’d planned for.
Yet here I was, getting a second chance at the end of the world.
The Ashes is the 10,000 word prequel to The Eden Trilogy.

~My Thoughts~
I kind of
went into this short story blind and doing so I was quite confused throughout
the beginning. I didn't know who I was reading about or for the fact I was a
guy. With hints here and there I started to put the puzzle together. I'm a guy
who is in jail and since the doors have come unlocked for us, the world is turning
into shit inside and outside of the walls of the prison I am in.
Once I saw
the picture a bit more clearly I was able to get into it. However a thing still
got me confused and bugged me throughout the ending of the book. The main guy
we are seeing our eyes through, he finds his uncle's shotgun but somehow during
some pages later his uncle's shotgun gets turned into a rifle?!?! And then it
gets turned back into a shotgun again, so this edit element distracted me to
the T. But other than that I saw no other major edit problems.
Overall
this was a nice tale for this awesome and entertaining unique series that I am
enjoying quite much. I can't wait to have my chance to read The Bane as I am
sure to love it. In this we'll still get a glimpse at the creepiness of the
Bane but we also get a hint of what have maybe caused this new disease too.
Though at the end I was hoping this character might turn into one of the main
characters in the novel. I don't believe so but as I haven't read the novel yet
I can't really judge this element. However I did like the ending as it did tie
itself to the novel as we get to see some of those characters in their younger
age.
