I definitely would've liked more from the book. I liked it, I liked what the author was doing. I think the book would've benefited from being longer. I wanted more – the prior events, the early days, leading up the full-on attacks. What we got wasn't enough. Williford did well for the very short book, but I think his writing style and voice would've showed more if there were more (pages).

I liked Gabby and Nadia for the most part. I found Nadia to be annoying most of the time – she should be happy for Gabby for her career? Luckily we followed Gabby more which I liked. I didn't really care for the side characters – even though one of my favourite things in post-apocalyptic settings are people coming together and creating communities.

I thought the ending was a but odd as well but it did set up hints of that community building which I like. Who knows if cheese will ever be safe again to eat (for them)
