" I don't think The Ellie Chronicles has quite the oomph that the original series does, but I still thoroughly enjoyed reading these books. I love seeing the subtle-yet-all-too-real struggles that have replaced all-out battles now that the war is officially over. Some people have complained that they got sick of all the talk about cows and everything. Honestly, it never got boring to me. I love Ellie, and I'm invested in her. I love reading about her life, and that was just another part of it. "
