It's a new month... time for some new bug fixes!
While Matt is still working on harnessing the book data that we all have contributed to, and making it available for searches, he's also been rather busy fixing other things, and even adding some nifty little features. Read all about it in this Announcements forum post.

Amazon Editorial Review
In the second volume of The Limit, Mizuki has found herself in a position where her not only her social life is at risk, but her survival rests in the hands of the young women she was so desperately attempting to avoid. In the wild the strong survive, and while Alisa may not be smart or cute, she is physically strong. So she immediately takes command by gathering anything that may be used as a weapon to threaten the lives of anyone who may attempt to usurp her new found authority.
Mizuki will have to win over the trust of three people who truly despise her. Whether that means doing all the most dangerous tasks to survive or she must endour bullying, right now she understands that unity will be their only way home. Keeping that unity may be improbable, though.

Read last night.
The division between “popular” and “unpopular” may have seemed important only hours ago, but after a school bus accident has killed all but five high school students, old roles no longer matter. Mizuki Konno, once part of the pretty elite clique, must humble herself and learn to work with old rivals and students she previously ignored as she and the others struggle to feed and shelter themselves. But danger comes not only from the forest they're stranded in. Class oddball Arisa Morishige has been mad with power ever since she managed to snag the only weapon on board the bus, and quiet Chikage Usui has started to crack under the strain. Konno's best chance at survival is by following the lead of calm strategist Chieko Kamiya, but will the girls work together or only to ensure their individual survival?
In the previous volume, Konno came to the realization that she doesn't really know her classmates beyond a superficial level when one of her supposed best friends lashes out at her. She does her best to patch things up in this volume, and tries to learn more about her classmates. But it seems like every attempt at bonding ends in disillusionment or failure, and she realizes just how fragile friendships can be.
More is revealed about the lives of Arisa, Chikage and Chieko as Konno gets to know them, and it is clear that their upbringing had a huge influence on their current actions. Chieko has many siblings that she longs to return to, and her grandfather taught her basic survival skills, so she is more comfortable in the situation than her counterparts. Chikage is her opposite in many ways: a pampered single child who doesn't quite know how to fend for herself because there have always been others to take care of her. Even Arisa's cruelties to her classmates begin to make more sense as her own dark history is slowly unveiled.
This is a dark story, made all the grimmer by the fact that the authorities – the school, bus company, and police – have not fully realized an accident occurred by the end of the second book. With every hour that passes, the girls' chance at survival slides. At this point, I'm already wondering who will be the next to die...
