Amy Plum, international bestselling author of the Die for Me series, delivers a fast-paced adventure perfect for fans of Marie Lu, Veronica Rossi, and Robison Wells.
Juneau grew up fearing the outside world. The elders told her that beyond the borders of their land in the Alaskan wilderness, nuclear war had destroyed everything. But when Juneau returns from a hunting trip one day and discovers her people have been abducted, she sets off to find them. And leaving the boundaries for the very first time, she learns the horrifying truth: World War III never happened. Nothing was destroyed. Everything she'd ever been taught was a lie.
As Juneau comes to terms with an unfathomable deception, she is forced to survive in a completely foreign world, using only the skills and abilities she developed in the wild. But while she's struggling to rescue her friends and family, someone else is after her. Someone who knows the extraordinary truth about her secret past.

From School Library Journal Gr 8 Up—Raised to believe she was one of the few survivors of a nuclear war, 17-year-old Juneau is part of a tiny community of refugees in Alaska, isolated from the rest of the world. Juneau is training to be the next Sage and strengthening her mystical abilities. When her entire clan is kidnapped, she sets out to find them. She soon learns that men are searching for her, and she struggles to stay one step ahead of them while acclimating to modern civilization for the first time. In a parallel narrative, Miles, the son of one of Juneau's pursuers, decides to track her himself, hoping to impress his father. The fast-paced plot, rife with mystery, successfully moves the story forward. The initial setting of Juneau's camp is fully realized and portrayed in vivid detail. She is a tough, loyal, and smart protagonist and thoroughly developed while Miles is more two-dimensional. A romance develops between them, but some teens may question Juneau's interest in Miles, who is egocentric and has few redeeming qualities. Some plot devices feel contrived, straining readers' abilities to suspend disbelief, and the number of conveniently fortuitous coincidences may raise an eyebrow or two. Ultimately, however, the unique premise, strong protagonist, and action-packed story redeem the work. Fans of postapocalyptic fiction will enjoy this unusual not-quite-dystopian novel with a dose of corporate espionage. And the cliff-hanger ending will leave them eager for future installments.—Julie Hanson, Chicago Public Library
From Booklist Juneau has grown up off the grid in a hunter-gatherer colony at the base of Denali in Alaska, convinced that she and her clan are the last civilized survivors of World War III. As she is out hunting one day, she sees a helicopter and returns to camp as quickly as she can. But upon her arrival, she finds her entire clan missing, including her powerful mentor, Whit. Juneau’s clan is notable not only for their methodical survivalist lifestyle but also for their mystical connection with a natural force called the Yara, which grants them superior powers of perception across space and time. Juneau is particularly gifted with powers of perception, but her efforts to locate and rescue her clan are complicated by two separate factions in hot pursuit. Told in short chapters alternating between Juneau’s point of view and that of the skeptical Miles, who will stop at nothing to find her, this fast-paced adventure novel from the author of If I Should Die (2013) pulses with magic, romance, and one humdinger of a cliff-hanger. Grades 8-11. --Paula Willey

I don't know if ATE wanted to encompass different genres like sci-fi, thriller, fantasy, and what I'm thinking as faux dystopian. If you've seen or heard of M. Night Shymalan's movie THE VILLAGE, this book is like that, only instead of one major twist, AFTER THE END has several. Unfortunately, by the time the twists meet up and everything starts to make sense, I was confused by the logic leaps and the number of coincidences which kept cropping up.Juneau is a young woman raised and living in the Alaskan wild by her father and a close group of friends. She has abilities no one aside from her clan understands. Miles is the progeny of a wealthy man who is ignored for the most part, until he gets involved with his dad's plans to find a mysterious girl. These two teens meet and both their lives change. Each teen takes a turn narrating chapters.Author Amy Plum writes with fluidity that makes the book easy to get in to. But I'm not a big fan of dual narrators, and I think this novel should have been strictly Juneau's. Her story arc is so huge in scope that it needed more focus. Miles was more of a hurdle you have to jump over to get back to her. You can't really root for him when he knowingly gets involved to hunt Juneau out to get into his dad's good graces. I didn't get a feel for him until near the end of the book.MILD SPOILERS BELOW:There were too many coincidences. Juneau needs answers? No problem, she just finds the local homeless person (which I found very offensive), taps into powers, and they'll give her some. She gets hurt running away from some bad guys, and there's, coincidentally, a woman who appears who can help her with that too. Her abilities are strong in the beginning of the book, then conveniently go away, then come back when she really needs them. She doesn't use her abilities when she must. It's too tidy for my taste.The biggest pet peeve I have is that Juneau was born with a unique eye anomaly, a gold starburst. Everyone who is looking for her is on the lookout mostly for this anomaly...and she doesn't do anything to cover her eyes up. Buy some sunglasses, buy some colored contact lenses! If you are aware that your life is in danger because of this main reason, wouldn't you do something in your right mind to cover it up?END SPOILERSATE is in itself an anomaly to me. It didn't win me over, but it did manage to hook me into checking in on the next book. I will be looking for it at the library when it comes out though.

There's a beginning and middle, but no end in sight when it stops. A heads-up by Amazon or Audible or Ms. Plum that this was only part of a novel might have been nice before I bought it. There are some massive holes and some weak aspects of the story--Miles's motivation for searching out Juneau's in the first place is incredibly contrived--but it does have an engaging main character. Juneau is worth the price of admission. Just give me a whole book. When the next book comes out, I hope it has an ending, and the author doesn't soap opera us to death by just continuing on with a never ending story.
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Sure to outshine her first series! By Jenna Detrapani AFTER THE END by Amy Plum is an road-trip survival story that’s a far cry from her previous paranormal romance series. It’s a definite step up as far as originality and adventure – and it left this reader impressed even up to the author’s signature cliffhanger ending.I have to admit, I had not even read the synopsis of AFTER THE END before diving in. I knew nothing about what was to come. Heck, I’d gone so far to assume that it was going to be a typical post-apocalyptic adventure story – which I enjoy and was the main reason for wanting to read it. Boy, was I wrong, well, kind of… I am probably one of very few people who will be caught completely off guard by the first major “twist” (although now that I’ve read the synopsis, I see this was not a twist at all – yeah, yeah). It delivered a “woah” moment that I don’t think very many other readers will experience. Haha. I’m so silly. In hindsight I am so, so glad I did not read about the fact that nothing in the beginning of the book is real. In fact, I really wish that they had left that detail out of the synopsis altogether so that other readers could experience the same shock.That aside, the revelation about the world Juneau has always known really isn’t the point of the story. What’s important is everything that happens after that. (Huh. Maybe this is the “After” that the title is implying.) I love, love, loved seeing Juneau’s natural world collide with that of our modern society. A major geek moment for me was reading about the landmarks she encounters in the city of Seattle. I adore Seattle and Juneau visits some locations that I am highly familiar with.Juneau’s background is explored in great depth within AFTER THE END. Juneau is quite the enigma and I loved discovering things about her as the story progressed. She is strong, resourceful, someone I could easily be friends with… She makes decisions based on their benefit toward her cause and she is not one to react without thinking. Though some things about her past and her “people” and their ways are still a bit of a mystery, you learn so much about them within only a few hundred pages. Yes, there is a paranormal element behind her and her people, but by the end of the book I bet many readers will wonder if such a culture doesn’t actually exist. The attention to detail is that superb within this book.On the other end of the spectrum – the “modern” side – is the male lead, Miles. Since the synopsis doesn’t say anything about him at this time, neither will I. But I will say that Miles is one of those characters that I absolutely despised at the beginning of the novel but grew to love. Early on, Miles’ maturity level left me wanting. But by the end of the book – especially at the end of the book – I found myself cheering him on. I think that says something about character progression. While his personality at the beginning made his perspective difficult to swallow, I cannot say the same as the story went on. Eventually I found myself enjoying both views equally, both Miles’ and Juneau’s.It’s kind of funny. Almost immediately after Juneau and Miles came together in the story, my mind instantly compared them to Dallas and Leeloo in The Fifth Element. She is the mysterious girl with an unusual past and he is her disgruntled guide. Her naivety and innocence matches that of Leeloo. His likability and attitude was at the same level as Dallas. As their journey continues, the two characters clash and connect with each other in memorable ways. It also helps that the book is told in the alternating perspectives of both Juneau and Miles. We get to see both sides of their story and things are unveiled as they each make their own discoveries and are put through trials both together and separately.I never found the pacing or the story faltering as I read. Road-trip novels and I tend to “click”, so I think AFTER THE END definitely had that in its favor. Another thing I should mention is that I began and completed this novel all in one sitting while making a long flight across the U.S. I gobbled up the pages as though they were a Thanksgiving feast, and when I finished I was left begging for seconds.A word of warning: AFTER THE END has a killer cliffhanger.Just be prepared…Pros:- What a step up in both originality, characters and writing for this author! This second series is sure to outshine her first!- Juneau is a strong and resourceful character that I can easily get behind.- The dual perspectives maintain balance the scales between the two sides, allowing the reader to more easily see both sides of the story.Cons:- The cliffhanger. Pure. Torture.- I kind of wanted to understand the modern side of the story more at this point. But this is likely to come. Juneau’s culture is so perfectly fleshed out, I was easily able to excuse the lack of world building provided for the modern side.- Miles was a difficult character to follow in the beginning.AFTER THE END will already have a legion of readers begging to devour its story thanks to the author’s previous release. Plus, new readers will appreciate the more accessible story and characters. There is plenty of romance and paranormal elements to satisfy existing fans and plenty of adventure to satisfy the new. I am more of a fan of the author after reading this book and I eagerly await what is to come.Plot: 9Characters: 9Setting: 8Pacing: 9Style: 9Grade: 94
