There is a thing or two in this book that are structurally suboptimal, but overall, the pacing is biting and cohesive, the characters have deeeeep stories and flaws, and the world building is some of the best I've ever read.
This book is dark. You can't quite prepare yourself for just how dark it gets, yet, somehow Butler manages to make a beam of hope cut through all of the noise that carries you through. Please read this book!

I love literary apocalypse books like these! The character focus, the slow changes of society to ruin, and the need for man to band together to create something better are themes heavy in this book. And although they're not any original ideas, the writing is truly unique and makes the story extremely compelling.
Trigger warnings for just about everything as the book touches on some gruesome topics. But if you like Books like The Road by Cormac McCarthy, you'll enjoy this one even more.
