This is the last of my SPSFC quarter finalists read. All the opinions are my own and not the team's. This book just wasn't for me is the kindest thing I can say. There is no plot, no tension, everything kept dragging on and on till the final 15% which seems to me to be too long a set up. It started off well, but soon the tension was gone and there was way too much foreshadowing and the insta love between Petra and Arthur didn't do anything for me. Lysander was the only interesting character but even his arc was too slow to get going.

If you love post apocalyptic scenarios with slow build up and epic scopes, this may be the book for you.

To me, more than 75% of this book was just flab.
