Mira Grant’s Newsflesh Trilogy is one of the most brilliant zombie apocalypse series ever written… but what about Feedback (2016), the so-called “Book 4”? In this spoiler-lite review, Jim (flying solo for Fantasy for the Ages) dives into this parallel tale that runs alongside the events of Feed.

Does Feedback add anything compelling to the Newsflesh universe, or does it stumble under the weight of its own message? I’ll share the book basics, a quick synopsis, and then my honest take—why I found it disappointing, and why I wouldn’t recommend it to most fans. Still, there are a few reasons you might enjoy it, and I’ll cover those too.

Have you read Feedback? Do you agree with me—or did you find more to love in this installment? Let’s discuss in the comments!
