3.0

Enjoyed the dystopian, post-apocalyptic theme. I thought the plot was well done, adding mystery, landscape changes, running and rebel themes.

The characters felt a bit flat and there wasn’t a ton of character development. You understood Elsa’s emotion in the midst of what was going on but it felt like hers and Walker’s characters jumped quickly from plot change to plot change without much transition or fleshing out. Some of the other semi-main characters I would have liked more backstory/fleshing out as well. 

Overall it was interesting though and I enjoyed the story, and am interested in the next book. 

Thanks to Netgalley for the advanced copy of this book. All opinions are mine.
