It's a YA book, but doesn't feel all that YA, probably due to the serious setting.

It was a bit slow in the beginning and I didn’t get that far in it before putting it down. So I wasn’t super interested in the beginning.
But, as I was reading I got so hooked, I read like 2/3 of the book in like 36 hours (including sleeping and working). I was stuck, but there were some parts that I didn’t enjoy that much or feel weird about.

The only part I actually had a good time with was the budding romance between Jamie and Andrew. Except for one thing. I know sexuality can be a fluid thing - but I really don’t enjoy books where a character is stated to be straight and then suddenly is doing some really homosexual stuff. I find it really uncomfy. I would have preferred it if Jaimie just admitted he was bi.
The romance was sweet, though.
Also - I’m so glad they helped Cara. A place like the Fort Caroline sounds like my actual nightmare, and I wanted them to go back and save all the women there, who were probably being used for broodmares and kept against their will. That plot was actually horrific. I know they had to leave - but they should have told the other settlement at the end that there was a fucked up settlement to the north, and some of the things that were happening there. I’m glad Cara got out, but I’m sure there were so many others in that place who regret coming to live there, just like she did.

The characterization of Andrew and Jamison is amazing, and Brown works well to blend together both a broken world, hope for a future yet unseen, and the dangers that can be rather inherent in a world that was destroyed.
This book made me laugh, made me cry, made me ponder just what kind of a world we live in, and whether or not human nature would go the way no one would like it to go.
