It's time for a little...FEEDBACK.

Feedback, by Mira Grant (me) is now available from fine bookstores and e-retailers in North America and the United Kingdom! This standalone entry in the Newsflesh world follows a new blogging team through a new adventure...and a very familiar period in time. Feedback begins the day Feed begins; it ends the day Feed ends.

It's everything in the middle that's new.

So come. Meet Ash, our Irwin narrator and Irish immigrant. Meet Ben, her Newsie companion and husband-on-paper, who's seen a less privileged side of the post-Rising world. Meet Audrey, Fictional, artist, and girlfriend, who's getting a little tired of waiting for Ash to get her life together. Meet Mat, makeup and maker blogger. Meet a lot of people, and find out how many of them will walk away.

Because Feedback provides a new angle on the original trilogy, I do not recommend picking it up until you've read Feed at the minimum, and hopefully Deadline and Blackout as well. But I hope you'll come to my party. I have so many stories to tell you.

This will serve as your discussion post; expect spoilers in the comments.

Well, I just finished Feedback, and just as I expected, I feel emotionally drained. I loved the team, though I do have to admit there were a few times I wished I could tell Ash how wrong she was about Georgia and Shaun. I had to remind myself that she didn't know them like I do. I thought I knew where the story was going several times, but with the exception of them meeting Dr. Abbey, I was wrong every time. I really, really enjoyed getting to know Congresswoman Wagman better, and I ended up with a great deal of respect for her.

I think this crew made the right choice. Like Ash said, it wasn't worth it. I imagine she'd be surprised to learn that Georgia would have agreed with her.

Haven't finished yet, but one of my takeaways is that Ash and Georgia are very different people. Witness Georgia grumbling but going along with security requirements and Ash arguing a lot, or how Georgia's "seeing the world in black & white" informs their different views of Wagman.

Wagman was impressive as shit. She's a running joke in Feed, but here she's secretly strategically awesome. I wanted to see more of her and Kilburn teaming up (sigh).

Yes, they made quite the pair. I liked Susan Kilburn from the moment she was introduced, and she never did anything to make me waver in that. I can't say the same about Peter Ryman.
