ZERO REPEAT FOREVER by G.S. Prendergast is the first book in
the Nahx Invasions series. I found
this book to be a very addictive read that draws you in and
very slowly progresses to an ending you will not expect. The
only thing I did not like
about this book is that it left things set up for the next
book, a real cliff hanger.
Now, even though the pace is slow it
is a really good read that is told by two different points of
view, Raven a human girl and a boy with no name who is an
alien. I kind of get a 5th wave vibe in a sense, but with a
twist. The two try to survive in a post invasion world as they
try to figure out their true allegiances. Along the way the
author creates unique and odd obstacles with very detailed
descriptions that are easy to visualize. The pace the author
chose to write this novel lets you see the gradual
deterioration of a world. This also lets the characters develop
and grow into their relationship. Even without words two
people can communicate.
The setting is written so vividly that
it seems real. It's the perfect setting for a world of
uncertainties where two people alike yet different try to
find their way. Can they
survive or will they become enemies in order to make it in all
the unknowns? I found this book to be action packed, full of
mystery, and relatable characters. I cannot wait until the next
book in this series comes out because I really want to know
what happens with Raven and Eighth. Overall, an outstanding
read for anyone for loves a good young adult science fiction
novel. I look forward to reading more from this author.
