I have enjoyed other Grace Hamilton stories and was excited to start this series. This is book 1. I really enjoy a good dystopian story. An EMP wiped out electronics and electrical utility is a very real possibility. I could envision how it would impact my community. I struggled to keep some of the characters separate initially, but there were enough context clues I always placed them before long. The story is well written. Good world and character development. Loved how it changed from different characters viewpoints. I used the audio version of the story, and could see in my mind’s eye the hospital and landscapes. Once I started the story, I was hooked, and binge listened to it. There were no slow segments in the story. I recommend having book 2 ready to go. I could not wait to start book 2! The narration was excellent. I received a free copy of this audiobook and am voluntarily leaving my review.
