There’s no genre I love more than PA fiction. It’s a win-win regardless. So even on the worst day for PA fiction, it’s still great in comparison. And this series is no different. However, there’s something that is a little off with this series. I can’t help but think there are too many things going on and not enough singular focus. There are too many storylines that semi-overlap, but not in ways that tie together. There’s the California group, the Chicago group, and everything else in between. And then there’s Fire’s first person narration, which never fits when thrown in. Now the characters are very fascinating, and the setting is very realistic. It’s the complete breakdown of the USA here. It’s just the execution that is a bit rocky.
Kevin Pierce’s narration is spot on percent, as always. He always delivers.
