A review by nanceoir
Rise: The Complete Newsflesh Collection by Mira Grant
5.0
To be fair, I only read the two new novellas (and the short story I hadn't read before... and all the intros), so it's not like I read the whole book through. But I'd read those novellas before (and still think that what Mira Grant pulls off in San Diego 2014 is rather amazing), and I liked them all.
As for the new stories, they're pretty great. Not to give anything away, but "All the Pretty Little Horses" gives some pretty unsympathetic characters from the full novels remarkable depth and I think meeting them again in the novels will be a different sort of experience. As for "Coming to You Live," even with everything they're going through and how difficult it sometimes was being in their heads, I just found that I'd missed those voices.
