Synopsis
After getting one of the big shots that have plans that involve playing with zombies, Orlando and the crew seemed to have gotten lucky and found another one of the big 6 they where looking for, only for the whole operation to go wrong and to find themself's in more danger than what they may be able to handle.
Review
The Chronicles of Orlando go by as a compressed book, the author had great ideas for the book but was in such a rush to maybe not make you loose interest or keep the reader high on action that she forgot to give a soul to the characters and leaves a lot of loopholes in the story.
The basic story of the book is really interesting but it's the quickness in which it is told and the lack of layers in the characters that takes the taste away from the story that is being told and makes the characters look like puppets and not people you could relate too.
I can see the potential in it, if the author could take some time to really look at the story and inject some life to it, we could have a really good story with interesting characters and also something fresh for the zombie genre, only time will tell what is to happen to The Chronicles of Orlando and only M. M. Shelley can decide its fate.
