aardwyrm's review against another edition

adventurous dark mysterious sad fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

Competent and interesting to look at, but aside from the central animal kid conceit, it's just a mess of unexamined apocalypse tropes, not much explored. Flows fine, fun to read, but I'm not sure there's any there there.
