The Burning World (The Warm Bodies Series)
The Burning World (The Warm Bodies Series) | Isaac Marion
37 posts | 22 read | 40 to read
R is recovering from death. He's learning how to read, how to speak, maybe even how to love. He can almost imagine a future with Julie, this girl who restarted his heart - building a new world from the ashes of the old one. And then helicopters appear on the horizon. A mysterious army is coming to restore order, to bring back the good old days of stability and control and the strong eating the weak. These grinning strangers are more than they seem. The plague has many hosts, and some are far more terrifying than the Dead. With their home in the grip of madmen, R and Julie plunge into the wastelands of America in search of answers. But there are some answers R doesn't want to find. A past life, an old shadow, crawling up from the basement. In this long-anticipated new chapter of the Warm Bodies series, Isaac Marion expands the scope of a powerfully simple story: a dead man's search for life in all its bloody rawness.

2✨ Its a 2nd book (normally not a fan). I loved Warm bodies so much that it took me a while to pick this up. It alone was perfectly fine! The story line here of the cure was very unique, and fun to read. It still has some main characters and they basically evolved more because their world is changing again. The element of Z‘s children is where I lost interest. Something big was further happening which will conclude in the last book in the series.

This had such a different feel to it than Warm Bodies did. I loved that R was still snarky and had some real moments of zombie wisdom, but the story went places I never saw coming (and don‘t feel like it needed).

Anyway, this was my #buddyread for #teamhendrix #scarathlon2021. Also #RoaringWolf (Don‘t Judge) and #wickedathon and #screamathlon

Roary47 Awesome! 🧟‍♀️💛 3y

I didn't enjoy this one nearly as much as Warm Bodies. As zombie novels go, it was ok. Nothing really new for the genre, unlike WB. It also could have told just as good a story were it half the length - took me 10+ hours to slog through it.

He didn't come to make friends. He's got fire in his eyes and a sword in his mouth and he came to cut the world in half.

Warm Bodies was the perfect little novel full of hope and new life. What this book, the second in the series, does is dig deeper into the messy world of "what next?" Julie and R's relationship is not going to be perfect, and they can't ignore the way the world is changing around them and affecting them. There is also the struggle of trying to figure out what's actually going on in the world, and trying to figure out where their place in it is.

There's currently a Thunderclap going around Facebook to support the second book in this series. It's being released in paperback tomorrow (3.6) and if it doesn't sell well, the publishers won't publish the third one he's writing....
So, time to show some love for R. ❤️ I never saw the movie, but the first book was fantastic!
Edit: Just ordered The HC and the novella on Amazon, which got me to $25 for free shipping 😁 (yes, no prime...)

jpmcwisemorgan How have sales been with the release of the ebook and hard cover? Have they been that poor that everything hinges on the paperback release? 7y
Booksblanketsandahotbeverage @jpmcwisemorgan It sounds like the hardcover and ebook didn't generate that much. I'll include the original link - https://www.thunderclap.it/projects/68194-warm-bodies-the-burning-world 7y
jpmcwisemorgan Thanks! 7y
Velvetsun I've had the second book since release day. We need the 3rd. ❤ 7y

This book was amazing. I loved Warm Bodies, but this one might be even better. A zombie series that is not without hope, without small amounts of joy, without, dare I say, optimism. I can't wait for the next in the series!

I'm 10 pages into this book and it's making me snort. I really enjoyed Warm Bodies, and this sequel is already promising.

This is one of those rare sequels that takes the base of the original ("Warm Bodies" lays the important foundation of understanding R and his condition and progress) and dives into a whole new layer. There's great action, twists, and tension as R remembers more details of his life before. I'm really intrigued to see how this series ends.

The Burning World by Isaac Marion ❤📚

March was a mixed bag of a month. My Florida vacation ended in early March. I celebrated my birthday and one of my work guys birthdays mid month and spent much of the end of the month in the hospital with another one of my guys. Overall I finished 12 audiobooks, two print novellas and an excellent anthology.

Marion doesn't flip the genre on its head but instead takes on the classic Post Apocalytic road trip using that to examine the priorities of being human. Marions writing fluctuates seemlessky between crisp and breezy, and his dark humor takes center stage. Throughout the novel he pokes fun at his own book and the "Love will conquer all" theme. It doesn't break the zombie genre or even pervert it all that much but Marion tells a damn good story.

Stated this. Very excited. New narrator took a bit getting used to but not bad.

23 ~ The Burning World (The Warm Bodies series~Book 2) by Issac Marian (Kindle edition📱) ~ Started: 25.02.17 ~ Finished: 28.02.17
Rating: 4/5📚

I found 'The Burning World' different from the previous two books and I enjoyed it. I enjoyed finding out more about R's past and also more about Julie. There are also new characters introduced who were interesting and I hope to find out more about them in the next book.

Recommended.

This just arrived an hour ago, and im getting ready to dive into it. Warm Bodies is one of my favorite books of all time, so I'm a bit nervous about this sequel. In my opinion, WB didn't really NEED a sequel since I thought it had a perfectly wrapped up ending. But...I'm excited to see where Isaac goes with this. #currentlyreading
