![]() It’s important to remember that Ellie never had a real childhood, and that a lot of her character revolves around her trying to grasp things of a life she should have had. The flashback aspect is something used to great effect in The Last of Us Part II, and I can’t help but wonder if the genesis of that owes American Dreams a lot. Ellie has a vision of the arcade as it should have been, before returning to the present as she has a sense of “It’s coming for you…too late.” They visit the mall also visited in Left Behind, and one gets a very good sense of Ellie’s mind and how she envisions what life could have been absent the Cordyceps apocalypse. The core story is Ellie and Riley’s first walkabout from the school. Glad I purchased it, and yes, it’s a quick read. ![]() The artwork is different from the game, but captures the feel of the universe very well. ![]() We also get to see a deceased character mentioned in Left Behind, and an pre- The Last of Us introduction to Fireflies’ leader Marlene, and you learn the origin of the letter from Ellie’s mother that you can read by accessing her backpack in the game. ![]() 13-year-old Ellie as drawn by Faith Ellen Hicks ![]()
