Well I finished the first prequel book. Must say it didn't completely grab me. Though I'm not sure if that wasn't because I didn't get much chance to actually read big chunks at a time. I've been very busy lately and that has meant my reading has been very stop/start choppy if you know what I mean. That could well have been the problem.
Overall the story seemed interesting and the characters well drawn. The writing did seem a little stilted and the book seemed to lack a good pace and flow. However, the author did enough to make me want to give the second book a shot when it comes out and and see how it goes.
Cheers,

P.S: I did notice a bit of misogyny(a guy wants to "buy" a wife, another characters wife decides she has to hop into bed with her husbands best mate the night after hubby dies because "it's a harsh world and they have to do it") but it sort of seemed in keeping with the idea of the semi post apocalyptic world.
