I think Siege has been my favourite book out of the As The World Dies series and I'm pretty sad that it is over, I feel like I'm saying goodbye to a friend or should I say friends (Jenni, Katie, Nerit, Travis...bye guys!)

Siege is packed with action and anticipation and you never really know what is going to happen. I found myself on the edge of my seat, trying to read as fast as I could, willing my friends to keep fighting and not let the zombies claim them, doing a victory pump when they won or a cry of despair when they didn't.

I love and hate the fort with equal passion. The love for the security it gave and for the great ideas that came out of it, from Jason, Calhoun, Juan and others. I hated all the ignorant and down right annoying people it housed. I understand that this kind of religious nonsense would most likely happen in such an apocalypse but I still find it so infuriating that people would start pointing fingers and spewing hatred than trying to find a way for all humankind to survive. Rhiannon does a great job in showing a great intolerance of any hatred towards any kind of race or sexuality, there is such a diversity within her range of characters and I find it really refreshing to read.

I'm going to talk about the deaths now, which I will hide with a spoiler so if you don't know yet, don't read!

Felix - oh, Felix, you were doing so well! I really liked Felix and there was a pang of regret when he died but we didn't get a good enough glimpse of him for me to really feel it. But still sad to see you go Bud, over a scrap of ear.

Roger - what a sad way to die, he was almost there. I can't remember now whether they shot him or left him for the zombies. But I think they shot him. He was a good guy.

Jenni- Oh Jenni...one I didn't think was coming but when it did...it was so Jenni like, I couldn't be too sad. She kicked zombie ass and went down flying. Her end was so bittersweet...and though it broke my heart, the fact that she was happy about it..didn't make it seem so bad. She got to go to her babies. She said goodbye to Juan and Jason, and eventually the others. She gave Juan a family when he needed it most! Her death was so perfect.

Bill - this one was one I found to be one of the most heart-breaking. I hoped he wouldn't die especially after finding love with Katarina. It was so sad. Bill was always this steady, lovely guy who was always there for the characters who needed them. He was such a loss.

Dale and Ken - another heart-breaker. Good ol' Ken...he was just so gay! You would almost expect him to be a coward because he was so flamboyant about everything but he was one of the bravest, always volunteering for missions where he had a high chance of dying. And he died in Dale's arms...it was sweet and Dale was sweet, killing Ken before he could be bit and not only that, but tolerating his flirting and teasing him about it when a lot of straight guys could feel uncomfortable.

Peggy and Cody- Ugh, what a stupid bint. Peggy was always annoying and I feel really disappointed in her but overall she wasn't a huge loss, and to be honest, neither was Cody as all he did was cling onto her skirts.

Curtis- FUCK YOU CURTIS!!!!! I knew it was him from The First Days. You stupid racist homophobic asshole! Nerit should have shot his balls off before she shot his brain open.

I love how Calhoun gave a little glimpse into the future of the fort which I think Rhiannon wanted us to spot. The fort will continue and prosper and eventually Jason will take over from Travis and be an excellent leader and perhaps the one that will take them into a zombie free world...I hope so!
