I liked this book a lot, post-apocalyptic books are my favorite genre of all-time, but I gave this book 3 instead of 4 stars only because I feel like there should be another half to the book. The conclusion was ok, but really, it feels as if we only got half the story, and the other half would see the characters through their “growth” as characters. When an author picks up the story right after the end of the known world, characters are a mess. As well they should be, PTSD and all that. Which means showing their growth and healing, or non-healing, whichever the case may be, will take a little bit longer than a 390 page book. So, if the author picks up this story again and tells us more, I would go back and change my rating. Until then... 3 stars it is! And I definitely think it's worth a read.
