FreakAngels

review 1: "23 years ago, twelve strange children were born in England at exactly the same moment.6 years ago, the world ended.This is the story of what happened next."So begins the story of the FreakAngels, a group of dysfunctional young adults who, in the wake of an unnamed catastrophe, guard the drowned ruins of Whitechapel against invasion and looting by would-be attackers from other "territories." But the fragile life they've built starts to crumble when word of an old friend-turned-enemy arrives via a girl toting a shotgun and a grudge.This first volume is mostly exposition, but amazingly, the pacing doesn't suffer for it. There are no info-dumps; instead, bits of information are shared as they become relevant. Each character has their own story, the jagged pieces of those stor... moreies coming together to form a whole in believable but unexpected ways.Looking forward to the next volume!
review 2: I had read this online and it was interesting to compare the experience with reading the book. It's an interesting storyline with a group of psychic young people having been born at the same time with the same eyes and skin no matter where they came from. Six years ago the world ended. London is semi-submerged and they keep trouble away. Part of the problem is that they have too much power, one of them wants all the power and there are other factions that want to stop them.Interesting and convoluted and I really should get back to reading it... less
