Emotionally charged dystopian epic!
I just finished the book and I’m exhausted.
I’m relieved and feeling uneasy at the parallels and reflections of our current pandemic.
It’s unsettling just how much..considering this was written pre-covid.
As for the story..yup..brilliant. Y-the Last Man has to be credited, for obvious reasons but this has much more realism and threads of hope. Still the story of what comes after the disaster is really where the emotional slugs get fired. Loved the voices, well read and I appreciated the chunks of story told in sections to make quick listens easier.
Great book.

Excellent narrators
Each chapter is from a different character and different narrator. Works really well with the story and keeps the momentum moving

Compelling but heartwrenching.
This was a brutal and unflinching portrayal of heart break, loss and destruction of everything we hold dear. Reading this with the memory of the recent pandemic so fresh in my mind definitely gave it more impact. Prior to covid I may have dismissed it as unbelievable, now it echoes disturbing memories.
I loved the performances in this audiobook, they really communicated the frustration of loss and grief in the face of an overwhelming force of nature.
I would recommend this but witg a word of caution: if you are a mother of sons, brace yourself for an emotional ride.

I ate this book up
LOVED it. It was relevant yet a twist on the current pandemic and really got me thinking. Now my problem is going to be finding a follow-up book that is as interesting as this one.

Wake me up when it’s over
I was so excited to read this book , but throughout the book all the characters felt similarly monotone with no real emotional substance.
I grew impatient , lost interest and then went I to sleep . Zzzzzzzzz
