What happened to a chunk of the bloody moon gone? Nope. Because I like lists, here's one to explain why I thought This World We Live In sucked without remorse.ġ. This was a terrible book and a terrible way to close out a series. The characters endure, create bonds, and continue on and survive as best they can. This wasn't a happy series, and there really is no happy ending that could have ended the series. (view spoiler) And truly that ending was emblematic of the new world. I had very mixed feelings about the ending but it fit. This is more than just day-to-day survival. But also the romances between Alex and Miranda, Matt and Syl, and even Jon and Julie show the inhabitants of this new world do have a future, though it may be tragic and hard. This thread was woven throughout the book, most notably with baby Gabriel. Instead, this is more picking up the pieces and thinking about the future. This story isn't an immediate survival of a post-apocalyptic event as the first two were. This book continues Miranda's story, but also the story of Alex and Julie from The Dead and the Gone. There is no happy ending to this series, just moving onward and forward, and accepting that the world has changed, and that - as the title says - this is the world we live in.
