this complete series was recommended to me by audible because I have been listening to the mini parallel box series stories by Franklin Horton along the same lines of Apocalypse etc… since this was the same narrator, I thought it would be a nice, contiguous continuation of the same vein of writing and storytelling. I could not be more wrong. I really want to like this, because specifically of the biblical references and intentionally clean nature of the author’s storytelling, but I cannot get into the story unfortunately. it is clunky, laborious, absolutely unbelievable in how the events are unfolding… and I’m only at Grandma’s house 💀🙈🤷🏽♀️. since the author seems to not be able to adaptly navigate normal times human interactions, I don’t think my time would be well served seeing what he does with actual post EMP situations. unfortunately. Kevin Pierce, however is rocking this narration as usual, just the writing itself is stilted and disingenuous enough that I can’t get into it. pretty bummed. for what it’s worth, a few of the specific instances are how the two pastors react to literal strangers approaching them about anything spiritual… not Good shepherding either way and the charismatic/prophetic side of it is not my jam…. but I also don’t think that people seeking biblical counsel should be steered to a psychiatrist 🤣🙈 The interactions between the friends are so stilted, I appreciate the non-sexual nature of the book but it does lend itself naturally to not understanding The subtleties of the characters’ relationship (for instance I was confused when Elisa was the one who woke up Danny from his first dream, since there was no indication that they were living together) and in general the interpersonal relationships are underdeveloped/under described to the point where it’s hard to follow what’s going on, and when you can follow it it doesn’t flow very well or seem natural. overall, I’m thankful for clean Christian writers but this was just not a book that captured my attention. not that anyone cares 🤣🙈
