Review: intense!

I very much like staying in the same world for a long time when the writing is good, like this one is. It's like when we binge watched Battlestar Galactica, Lost, and the first two seasons of The Walking Dead on Netflix, and when we used to watch 24 on DVDs years ago. It's great to be familiar with the world and, while not knowing precisely WHAT will happen, I know it's going to be good. I am currently in a phase where anything that is not post-apocalyptic, or at least earth-changing and dark, is boring. This is perfect. The writing is tight and polished (tho a few copy-proofing errors do exist). I don't like all the characters but that's not a problem. After all, I didn't like Kate or Juliet (Lost) for a long time, and I NEVER liked Ben, but they were all important to the story. I definitely don't like Boricio but I am really curious to see how he develops in season 3. There are some scenes that are almost too intense, but there is a disclaimer about that--just know that the authors are serious when they say some of the scenes are graphic because there are bad people/creatures doing bad things in a bad world.
