I just read How We End and craved more of this universe, so I jumped straight into How We Began. This is a novella with different MCs. It's 75 pages and a prequel to How We End.
We meet Marianne - a patient who has survived being bitten by one of the Infected. Marianne's lack of symptoms suggests that she is immune, which leads to the hope of a vaccine or cure. But soon the lab is breached, and she needs to run away. What will she do to survive, and is she truly immune?
It was a solid read, and a great introduction to the How We Survive series. Some parts felt rushed and could've been written more in depth, and Marianne figured stuff out pretty quick - considering her memory was wiped.
Other than that, I truly have no complaints. The MCs are loveable, the plot thickens, and the world is still ending. I truly hope we get more books soon, as I'd love to see where the story goes. I'd recommend to read How We End first, as this one might spoil what happens there.
I will definitely continue this series when more books are published.
