I was so curious about what other reviews said about the ending that I couldn’t wait to get there. I wasn’t as surprised as I expected to be. I suspected it but it was so well written that if you weren’t paying close attention you might be blindsided.
Having the 3 books together was great for an extended listen(and for one credit!). The first really got me interested in the characters and storyline. I’ve never been into the prepper/apocalypse genre but it didn’t seem “out there” and is well written so it moved along quickly.
I was worried that the 2nd & 3rd would have to rehash so much that I’d get bored but it didn’t happen, again- well written not repetitive.
The 2nd didn’t capture my attention as much as the 1st but provided good details and you really get to know the characters well. The 3rd was my favorite since it brought it all together and by then , with hours & hours of listening, I felt committed to it.
I did feel like I wanted a little bit more to the story. Just a few chapters of “what does he do now?/what happens to the country now?) But then again that may be a completely different series.
A big take away- PTSD is real. Done well in books of fiction-it brings home that point solidly.
