I liked it overall, I wish the ending was stronger for the characters in year 20. It felt really tense and suspenseful for most of the book but the final scene with the prophet just didn’t do it for me for whatever reason, I think maybe it was slightly rushed.

I don't know what will stop me loving this book. Fair warning it may cause anxiety symptoms as it deals with topics of being alone, death, global apocalypse, cults and the harmful effects of organized religion. But I love its commentary on humanity and the prospect of something good coming out of chaos.
