This series could become a show like Game of Thrones. The characters are great. The way the author develops them and the uniqueness makes you bond with them, even the bad ones like Gaston, because the author is telling you the story threw their eyes. The story with the wolves was great, I loved their perspective, wish the could continue with it. I do wonder if any animals or humans survived with mutations that gave them some kind of advantage? Also, how do they pass down reading knowledge, and if they do that, why have they not found any books with greater knowledge. Lots of characters can read, but none have taken that any further with the signs of all the greater knowledge from the past.
