I loved Season 1 -- 5 stars, hands down. In fact, the moment I finished the last word of the last sentence, I bought Season 2. And then I started Season 2 and thought, "I must have missed a season in between. Season 2 doesn't start off where Season 1 ended. There's about 5 months and a lot of action that just vanishes and I had trouble getting my head around that. It was a great ending, but I'm not sure I'll continue with the series.

I enjoyed the Yesterdays Gone Season One book, it was a fast paced horror mystery. Season Two has slowed down considerably introducing new characters when we thought Season' One's characters were it. These new characters are bouncing in time giving them a history before the "event" and after the event. We didn't have much information on Season One's before lives.

I'm not sure if I will continue with Season Three - The best I could equate this series with would be Lost - and like Lost they seem to add unexplained events - just for the sake of adding events - with no explanation of why things are happening or why a character does or has special abilities Gentlemen - you broke THE cardinal rule of storytelling! What were you thinking?

I don't even care to keep reading to find out what caused the vanishing. That plot line was weak at best and secondary to the character development you created. Sad to say, if I want to watch evil triumph over good - I'll turn on the nightly news and save my hard earned money. You decide and continue the series focused on Boricio You threw away a TON of amazing story lines to try and redeem a beer-battered, dip-stick sociopath with the vocabulary of a twelve year old. Season one started off well with a good premise; a select few individuals wake up to find the world deserted for an unknown reason.

Good variety of characters, family man Brent Foster ex-special agent?

Yesterdays Gone: Season Two (Yesterday's Gone) by Sean Platt and David W Wright

Where did everyone go? I really wanted to like this series. It started off great, but then fell on its face in season 2. Season 2 reveals what happened.

Spoiler alert plot and character All I could think of was bizarro world Superfriends episode. I was all good with aliens, spirit guides, etc. The doppelganger parallel universe was too much. The story would have been just fine without the parallel universe doppelgangers. I really just pushed through and finished the series because I wanted to find out what happens to Boricio, Mary, Paola, Luca, Will and all the other characters. These guys have delivered another winner. I downloaded Season 2 yesterday and finished it today and am going to download Season 3 right after writing this.

I think this season is almost as good as Season 1, but there were a few places that fell short of 5 stars, but overall was still better than a 4. I liked most of Series 2, except the several months that were skipped between the first and second. I like a good cliff-hanger, but not one that skips ahead after the drop and doesn't show the complete scene. I also didn't like the repeat of Boricio and his "black drink" bender. I feel as if it was mistakenly included in Season 2 after already shown in Season 1.

If it wasn't intended to be the same scene, it was unnecessary to revisit the experience. This series is full of action and adventure with a lot of twists and turns. Season 2 definitely answers a few questions posed in Season 1, but there are definitely a lot more questions to go. I enjoy that the plots are not predictable and that some characters are lovable and some are truly despicable and hate-worthy.

Let's just say I was not sad when a few characters found the wrong side of the knife wielded by a lovable character. However, after reading Season 1, I was a little sad to see some of my favorite characters meet their end or have they? These are great stories with some awesome characters.

Yes, there are a lot of stories going on at once, but that is true to life and since these are written for adults, they are not difficult to see as pieces that all fit together in the grand scheme of their lives on the planet. I truly like the fact as a reader, I get to see so many different perspectives of what is going on in their world and their different reactions and thoughts about it all. I also enjoyed reading after the stories, of how the writers go about their creative processes and what influences them in their writing.

We get a small glimpse into their lives as creative artists and a little hint as to who and what in their personal lives actually showed up on the pages and how their own processes sometimes surprises them too. I found it very Impressive how they discussed the need for reviews in order to continue to be independent publishers and how they even showed respect to those who did not write positive reviews. It means a lot when an artist can even appreciate those that don't necessarily like what they have created.

See all reviews. Thanks for telling us about the problem. Return to Book Page. Preview — Yesterday's Gone by Sean Platt.

Season Two has, as was in its first season, left readers on a massive cliff hanger. So I've had to promptly purchase and start Season Three.

In this volume, we see a massive progression from Season One. The characters are explored in more depth, and we find out more about their back stories, the hows and the whys. I enjoyed the introduction of a few new characters and especially what happened to them. I enjoyed the way the surviour groups 'fra Platt and Wright have done it again.

I enjoyed the way the surviour groups 'fractured', merged and 'ran into one another'. I enjoyed the way that once you thought you were beginning to understand the 'big bad', the authors amped it up a little and made the 'big badder' even bigger and even badder. This season just worked on a lot more levels for me than the first series - possibly becuause I've gotten more accustomed to who everyone is!

It didn't seem to skip between characters as much, and as a result you got a bit of a 'meatier' character experience. I also enjoyed the shocker ending. I love things that don't play it safe and thoroughly shock you. This managed that, and kudos for the authors for having the balls to do it. That should speak for itself. View all 6 comments. Mar 01, Charlton rated it really liked it Shelves: Good book,it starts a few months after the first book ends.

The group from Alabama finds a new home,sort of. The man from New York is still looking for his wife and son. And Boricio from Louisiana is still wreaking havoc where ever he goes. And by the end my mouth falls open because of a surprise. Dec 24, Marion rated it really liked it Shelves: Ok so season 2 began 5 months after the beginning of season 1.

It was kinda hard. In fact, it can be hard to remind yourself the book is written in a tv-serialisation type way. Once you get your head around it, then you are good. I liked season 2. He's is everything I hate, so I'm struggling to want him to 'win', given he is clearly a big character moving forwards. I like how the authors are not scared to kill off characters, I mean, good grief, towards the end of season 2 I was wo Ok so season 2 began 5 months after the beginning of season 1.

I like how the authors are not scared to kill off characters, I mean, good grief, towards the end of season 2 I was wondering if there would be anyone left! All in all, fabulous, shall be going for season 3. Mar 10, Megan rated it it was amazing. If you have read any of my reviews on Amazon you will see I am not fan of serialized fiction. Because to me for the most part you pay a few bucks and only get so many pages. I read a lot. I've read nearly 50 books for the year so far so I am very adamant I get a bang for my buck so to speak. My sentiment is why not wait until there is more to publish and sell it as a collection.

If you go through my reviews you will find me admonishing an author for doing so, and I also take no issue for ca If you have read any of my reviews on Amazon you will see I am not fan of serialized fiction. If you go through my reviews you will find me admonishing an author for doing so, and I also take no issue for calling out what I think is ridiculous. I also take issue with reviewers who basically summarize the book description with a few personal sentiments thrown in, hopefully if you pair my review with the book description you can decide if you would like to read this book. When I saw the first two episodes on Kindle for free and episode ten offered for free as well I figured well why not give it a try.

They knew that The first two novellas should be more than enough to develop a definite opinion. Needless to say I was instantly hooked. Length wise they are novellas and I am guessing if your considering buying season two you already read season one right? If not let me describe season one which is a post- apocalypse serial that is a hybrid of nods to pop culture think to the Goonies nods in season one and the blending of post apocalyptic fiction. Told from the point of view of many of the survivors, this is what would be considered in television as an ensemble cast.

Many survivors also discover not everyone disappeared. As a few of the survivors make the horrifying discovery of bodies stacked like cordwood. This is one mystery that has yet to be explained. Some of the survivors are now "enhanced" and have abilities that should make survival easier. At least you would think. We discover at the end of season one that we were wrong in our thinking of what actually happened to those who went missing.

Season two begins months after season one lets start with the bad. My main complaint is the grammar; however unlike some reviewers I do not dock points for grammar because self published books are bound to have errors. What's that point of docking stars if even with the errors you still enjoyed the book? Plus I'm cheap and self published books usually cost less so hey they skipped having a good editor to pass on the savings I'm not going to lament over it.

My second complaint is what happened to Teegan in season one there were a few chapters from her perspective? Besides that I feel that plotline had been neglected. It seemed as if she and her baby would be important in the future. Yet she is barely mentioned in season two.

I just felt like there were too many loose threads and seeing there will be a season three I just have to let that go. I figure the authors will address them when the time is right.

Yesterdays Gone: Season Two

I also think there were some deaths that were just unnecessary, as there was no build up that indicated why these characters should die and why we the readers should be ok with it. If your looking for everything to be tied up in a shiny package with a nice little bow, your going to be disappointed. Remember Luis well Ryan is in the same boat right now and I would like to know how it's possible they lasted that long.

I know you read these Sean. By the way where is Desmond?

How could you do that to him? What about Charlie and Callie? Like I said loose threads, you have to try to let them go. It is not easy though. Let's move onto the good season two does answer some of the questions we all have been asking. While some issues like who is behind this are not directly answered it is hinted at.

We do figure out where everyone went in October. Ed offers some answers to his plot as well when he teams up with Brent which I really liked because I think Brent needs to be with someone like Ed. Brent is to attached to the past and over emotional at times, for him to survive he needs to pick up a few moves from Ed. With Ed and Brent we get answers but were also left with more questions. Borico and Luca's storylines have also taken a most unexpected turn.

John's storyline also leaves more questions than answers but the resolution was fitting. Just be prepared to finish this book thinking WTF. It is obvious to me that the writers have read enough apocalyptic fiction to know what works. It is also interesting how masterful and insightful they write the characters we should be weary of and how quickly someone can turn from a main character like Mary in season one to a supporting cast member in season two. There are a lot of characters in this book and it seems putting their story on the back burner is a very smart way to keep us interested.

You know the saying too much of a good thing. The writers have taken that sentiment to heart it seems. My point, read the book. May 09, Bernadette Davies rated it it was amazing. You know how it is, when one day, you happen across an excellent TV series that you didn't know was there, or, after your friends and colleagues rave about something they have been watching on TV and you finally cave to see what all the fuss is about and you realise, 5 minutes into it, this is one of those that is going to hook you?

You know how great it feels when you happen along a brilliant TV series think Lost, Walking Dead, Fringe to mention but a few and realise you have a shed load of episodes to immerse yourself in, ones where, at the end of each cliff hanging episode you can just press next on your remote control and keep watching until an entire weekend has gone by or you finally reach the end and want to throw the remote at the TV out of pure frustration because you DO NOT want to wait until the next episode is aired to see what happens next?

Well, that is what you get with the 'Yesterday's Gone' series. What a clever idea this is! Though I admit, I was not aware of this until recently, so I was not one of those eagerly awaiting the next 'episode' to download but have hungrily devoured the first two series in their entirety and am now on season three, but I know I am going to be screaming with frustration when I come to the end of it and am not sure if I will wait for the entire season four to download it which is more my style or if I will be unable to wait and end up downloading each episode. Time will tell I guess on that front.

Yesterday's done is a cleverly written, nail biting epic that will grab you by the throat and transport you to another world. If you are into post-apocalyptic, survival of the fittest, twist and turns around ever corner kind of genres then this is for you. I found with this book, the authors have taken a little bit of inspiration from some of my favourite books and TV programmes, have meshed them together to create a story which is almost like 'The Best Bits' of each and delivered it to me so I may feast.

And feast on it I am. The writing is fast paced and the characters are well written. I have a love-hate relationship with all of them, and Sean and David have not been afraid to kill of my favourite ones, leaving me wanting to scream at them, but at the same time eagerly reading on to the next 'episode' to see just how they will go on from there and to not be disappointed.

I have devoured the first two seasons and will most definitely devour season three. I have talked about this in the office and have smiled at the looks on my colleagues faces when I talk about episode this and season that and note the confusion on their faces when they realise I am talking about a book and not a TV series but I know, intrigue alone will get some of them to buy this and then I know, they too will be addicted.

Yesterday's Gone: Season 2

I have also read Z prior to this and will certainly be reading more from these two authors. I love the topics they write about, all very current and trendy right now and I believe they are pioneers in a new market that will surely take off like wildfire. Dec 14, Michelle Leigh rated it it was amazing.

This season started answering some questions from Season One. We got to learn more about the characters, and watch them grow in how they handled the situations they find themselves in. This season continued with the TV cliffhanger theme, and I couldn't have asked for better story telling! I've seen some reviews that compare this to Stephen King's The Stand. Yesterday's Gone is nothing like it. The Stand is one of my favorite all time books, and Yesterday's Gone has gone onto that list as well. They are two very different stories.

Lenny Kravitz - Yesterday Is Gone (My Dear Kay)

This is the season that gave me my very first WTF moment. I literally dropped my Kindle in my lap and said the words out loud.. I couldn't wait to start on Season Three!! Apr 28, Desiree rated it really liked it. Fascinating story twists, and some really excellent characters which the authors make you care about even if some of them are absolutely horrible people. This one suffered a bit from a sense of rushed-ness understandable if it was written in the week in advance of publication; less so if the season's serial release was pre-completed , or perhaps just the editor switch they discuss in the interview: I was distracted by a few typos peak for peek, missin Still hooked!

I was distracted by a few typos peak for peek, missing little words here and there but that's mostly just because I'm a crazy copy-editor type. Otherwise it remains surprisingly well-written, especially for a series that consciously emulates television rather than literature. I bought the third one. You can't just stop. May 29, Jason Siegfried rated it it was amazing Shelves: Better than the first season? It rarely happens but that is the case here. From the opening scene to the last sentence I was on the edge of my seat with the craziest cliffhanger ending I've ever read.

iTunes is the world's easiest way to organize and add to your digital media collection.

The last few chapters had my heart beating fast, my mind reeling and a very loud "NOOO!! I cannot wait to start season 3 to see where they take the story next. There are twists and turns throughout the book, but not just for the s Better than the first season?

There are twists and turns throughout the book, but not just for the sake of twisting and turning. You get so invested in the characters and story that you feel like you are right there with them. Do not pass over this series, you will enjoy every page!! Sep 17, AudioBookReviewer rated it it was amazing.

This review was originally posted on Creating Serenity Wow In my review for season one I used the graphic alone but now I wished I would have saved it for this one!

The ending to this one left me in shock but let me first delve a bit into the review prior to this crazy ending. All the great characters are back! There are so many that I wanted to hear about again and they This review was originally posted on Creating Serenity Wow There are so many that I wanted to hear about again and they are here. That doesnt' necessarily make it a good thing though because the world is even worse than it was in season 1.

This one starts right where season 1 starts off too. One thing I have to commend is the audio. This is narrated by a great cast of people, all of who have to imbibe different voices for different scenes and they do a magnificent job! The only downside to so many narrators are the issues with keeping the voices separate.

They read chapters at a time, not different voices. So I got used to Bericio's voice but he came up in other narrator's chapters as well. Not a bad thing, just A thing. Over all the narration and the full audio was outstanding and I thoroughly enjoyed being pulled into the second part of this story. The portions with music were intense and the music added perfectly to that intensity. Especially at the end! The plot of the book had its highs and lows but for the most part this kept up with the very fast pace of season one.

I didn't love Lucka's chapters but appreciate getting into the boy's head. They seem like they are written to and from a younger child but I'm guessing this is just the great writing as we are supposed to be reading what a young boy would be thinking and feeling. The amount of characters is the only downside but for the most part I was able to keep those characters in check. I think it can almost be harder when listening to an audio to keep so many characters straight but the characterization of each is very well done. And if I could just bring up the end again See Jon Stewart from above!!!

Cannot wait to listen to the next season. Amazingly well done book with great audio! Great for a book two. Some high's and low's but overall wonderful. This review was originally posted on Creating Serenity Aug 17, Grw rated it really liked it. The second season in most TV series - the format these books takes - is often the tricky one, as the characters are developed, the plot is underway, so what do you do.

More of the same, is usually the answer, but with Yesterday's Gone, the authors didn't do that. Sure there were a lot of unanswered questions left over from season one, a lot of which still haven't really been answered, but some have, and more have turned up all of which will hopefully get wrapped up in Season Three. The characters The second season in most TV series - the format these books takes - is often the tricky one, as the characters are developed, the plot is underway, so what do you do.

The characters are all still there by the end of the book - well most of them - but there's a lot going on between the first page and the last.
