I have enjoyed other Grace Hamilton stories and was excited to start this series. I really enjoy a good dystopian story. I recommend reading the books in order to get the most out of the series. Book 3 picks up where book 2 left off. The story follows the lives of several characters following an EMP which wiped out electronics and electrical utilities. The story is well written. Good world and character development. I used the audio version, and I could see in my mind’s eye the story unfold, like watching a movie. Loved how it changed from different characters viewpoints. I liked how the story included a view into different communities, and how each can have different chances of survival. We take modern medicine for granted. In a survival scenario, minor ailments could kill you, and contagion can spread fast. I listened to the story every chance I had. I know the story has to end, but I was not ready for it to do so. The narration was excellent. I received a free copy of this audiobook and am voluntarily leaving my review.
