The Fandom Rising by Anna Day
5.0
Even though I missed out on the box with "the Fandom", the first book in this series, that was a Dystopia that I just really truly loved, was the reason I really wanted to get the Book Box Club each month. Books that seemed out of my comfort zone and then ended up being straight up my alley. I was therefore very excited to start the second book!
And the second book truly doesn't disappoint. The book starts almost a year after the previous one ended. Alice and Violet are bestseller authors now, but Violet's brother Nate is still in a coma. And then they discover that someone has started to write a third book, a book that messes everything up and mostly a book that ruins the chance for Nate to ever return back to our world. And then a race against the clock starts.
It's from start to finish a fantastic race and I love that this time we get two perspectives. Violet's, stuck in the fictive world trying to change the tide to get her brother back. And Allison's, doing whatever she can to give Violet the best chance she can get by writing her own fanfiction. The two storylines intertwine perfectly and everything that happens in one world has a direct influence on the other, something I really love.
I do have to admit that maybe there's not that much depth added to the characters. They lean heavily on the foundation built in the previous book and not that much background or extra information is added, but I personally didn't miss it that much. I had way too much adrenaline rushing through my vein to even notice.
Because this book is a rollercoaster from start to finish and even a little beyond that. And writing fanfic will never be the same again.
