The exciting continuation to the Babylon series

What did you love best about The Gates of Byzantium?

The first book in this series started a strong endeavor in world building, while never deviating from the importance of character development. Gates of Byzantium continued on the path of creating a complex, in-depth exploration into a brilliant conceptualization of a post-apocolypic zombie world.

What other book might you compare The Gates of Byzantium to and why?

I would hesitate to compare this book to others. Sam Sisavath has done a phenomenal job of creating an original story, and I believe he has succeeded to the degree of crafting a unique saga that, while comparable to elements of other books, is best considered in its own context.

Which character – as performed by Adam Danoff – was your favorite?

I was pleased with Adam's performance with all of the characters, and really could not single one out as a favorite.

Who was the most memorable character of The Gates of Byzantium and why?

As with character performance, I did not feel one character was more memorable than the rest-- each character contributes a unique facet to the overall story.

Any additional comments?

While there are a number of "zombie books" out there, I would highly recommend this series for its novel take upon the genre. You will find that the plot never dulls as you progress through the story arc, and while some events are predictable, each book will surprise you with a new twist.

Another great novel from Sam.!

The first novel Purge of Babylon really captured my imagination. All the res of the following series is just as captivating. I can see and feel the scenes. Sometimes you get a great story in the first book of the series and then it loses momentum. This isn't the case with the Purge of Babylon series. They are all equally exciting. Doesn't feel like some of the cookie cutter series I've seen. If you haven't yet read any of his novels download the preview and you'll be hooked like I was.

Every bit as good as the first book!

Worried it wouldn't be as good as the first book. But I was definitely not letdown. I really enjoyed the fact that this author does not mind killing off a main character. I could do without all the love stories though.

Great audio book enjoyed it even more than reading Kept them coming thank you very much

Good but not great

I really enjoyed the first book. This one wasn't as good in my opinion. Not much really happened. I always like hearing what Will and Danny are up to, but the other characters weren't as interesting and the ghouls were almost absent. I need more "blue eyed ghoul" back story. Next book I guess.

An enjoyable book
