Life After Humanity at Joyfully Jay.

I’ve been in survival mode lately, trying to keep up with my various commitments while also taking care of myself in some challenging circumstances! So it was really lovely to come online to this review of Life After Humanity today! Huge thanks to Kirsty and the rest of the team at Joyfully Jay.

Life After Humanity Reviewed at Joyfully Jay.

Whereas Thorns and Fangs was told entirely in third-person from Nate’s viewpoint and Uprooted from Ben’s, St. Kevern chooses to alternate their narratives in Life After Humanity. For me, this brought something extra to the story telling. This is because the input of both protagonists is essential to the development of the plot of Life After Humanity and not only because the story is so intense. Both Ben and Nate are attempting to come to terms with their new identities and for them, the revelations are not over. Although they have reached an agreement that they need to go it alone, they actually find their strength in one another. The reader also needs both narratives because there is so much happening to Ben and Nate separately that we would otherwise miss, like Nate’s relationship with the stray dog and Ben’s ARX assessment.
