Maas, I think you need an editor who can work with you on pacing and style. Some parts plodded along, and then, zip, hey, let's blow up an oil tanker! And then, not tell us if it did or didn't blow up. I couldn't tell if this was the beginning book of a trilogy or a stand-alone, as several plot points were never resolved. The parts with Zeke were kind of annoying. All he did was nod, grr. The he meets the preacher guy who drones on and on about religious crap.
I had to skim over most of those parts. I didn't pay much attention to Heather, as she didn't really have any major parts, she was just a character to further the plot. Ash was a good character. Heather and Ash are both pansies, though.

Really, you can't kill someone to protect yourself? People like that would never survive an apocalypse, I don't care how smart they supposedly are. Courtney was pretty good. I like the way her character still sees the world. Honestly though, where are all the day walkers? You mean to tell me that, in the twenty- first century, no one devises a way to walk during the day? We have special suits to help people who are allergic to the sun. We have suits for scientists who work with dangerous things. We have freaking astronaut suits. Yet the only people who have the ability to walk during the day are the people at the Salvation?
Nope, not buying it. Also, anything that is hot enough to burn a human to a crisp in a few minutes is strong enough to cause fires to most homes, and would have left every plant ashes. There wouldn't be bodies wrapped in sheets, because they would have caught on fire as soon as the sun touches it. Think about it, when you sit close to a fire, your clothes will start to smolder long before your skin starts peeling away. I really enjoyed this "Flare", because it was a nice change from the so-called "page-turners".
It allows slower pace, it tries to pose some philosophical problems and it tries to give a realistic view of a post-apocalyptic society. I like the character development of the twins, the way they complement each other, I like the mystery around Zeke and his simplicity.
On the negative side - I think it could use some editing. I didn't find some major spelling or grammar errors, but I find the way it was written for a bit Also, I think this book could have been developed into something larger - the ending is a bit quick and well, non-developed enough. It could be much better. And the setting allowed for even longer philosophical pondering.
Over all the book was pleasurable to read, without putting me under pressure to read it on one breadth. The beginning was a little slow, it took me a little while to get used to the authors writing style. Once I did I was getting sucked in and thought "okay, here we go, now it's getting good. Unfortunately the ending was extremely rushed. It felt like he created this great story and had no idea how to end it.

The ending was kind of wrapped up in a mostly neat package with little actual action or plot development. I was really disappointed. It kind of is left open for a possible sequel, but I doubt I would bother honestly. Get to Know Us. Back in you mentioned you had a few other comic books in the works. Yes, as a matter of fact I do. The Mall will be coming out next year via Scout Comics. I also expect to sign a deal shortly with my wrestling comic project.
Still too soon to say. I think that will be release next year as well. Are there any teasers you want to toss out to our GeekDad readers about where the Solar Flare story arc is going? Season 2 takes place in Port Charlotte, which is just north of where the story started. This is a very pivotal story arc in the lives of the main characters, especially Jake and Frank.
As I mentioned above, the upcoming Solar Flare trade paperback Solar Flare Season 1 , which collects Issues into a single book, is being released the second week of November. The Solar Flare comic takes place in Ft. Myers, Florida, and Ft.
