This is a great start to a new series by Grace Hamilton. If you like her other series that just concluded this is different but still have some similarities in the ability of the author to make intriguing and interesting characterization.
The basis of the story is about individuals forming; into a group of people as they are forced to interact with each other in trying circumstances to get along and a level of cooperation in a world that is obsessed with the basic needs such as food shelter and security
Grace has a unique ability to make the female characters not just tagalong’s. They are well developed people with needs opinions and abilities that make them complementary to the male characters. not barbie dolls
If you like dystopian or apocalyptic fiction this series is a good one as well as her prior series which is one of my favorites
