The first book starts slow. I actually had to stop listening it was so slow. A few weeks later I decided to try again. After the slow history of the characters, the story gets really good. I was hooked until mid book 3-4. Then it kind of lost me. A week after the collapse (partial collapse), this community is creating a

whole government, including jail, bookkeeping, appointing a judge, etc. Seems a little premature. Also, The Team (group of self trained, tactical sheep dogs) have to audition to be allowed to defend a small cabin community…? Uhhh what? Pretty sure if there was a group of well trained guys willing to defend an area in a collapse, everyone would be thrilled!

But, if you can just suspend reality and enjoy the entertainment, it is pretty good. Plus there’s a ton of books in the series, which is a bonus.

I’m on book 4, I’m going to stick with it and hope it doesn’t get too weird.
