This book felt so rushed, especially at the end. All that lead up to such a quick "resolution"

Trigger warning for sexual assault probably should have been at the start of this book

I'm really bummed about this one. I love dystopian, apocalyptic stories. Add magick and fantasy and I'm usually enthralled.
I've read PC Cast before and I do like her writing.
However, this book was just so boring. It dragged, and dragged. Plus, so many elements were so similar to the Tales of a New World series. It just didn't give me the satisfaction I usually get when reading a book.
To make things worse, there was never a resolution as to what actually caused the bombs and how the rest of the world was faring.
That's probably not where the author wanted it to go. As a reader, I would have enjoyed that piece resolved.
I absolutely loved book 1 but this one left way too much to be desired.

She tries really hard to be diverse, but her characters fall flat and end up being caricatures of the people she is trying to represent. Imani is a particularly egregious example.

Cast does it again!! I love a story with a statement and this one hit a lot of hard topics. Touches on women rights, race, religious views, environmental issues. Please read any trigger warnings before diving in.
A dystopian thriller set in a world where toxic green mists masks the earth killing the men who inhale it and granting gifts to women. A band of survivors must come together to overcome the obstacles faced not just by nature but by the humans trying to stake power in this new world. I don’t want to share too much because this is a sequel and spoilers

An excellent sequel to Into The Mist! The story is exciting and emotional. Kept me engaged (and crying a little). As always I look forward to more books from P. C. Cast!!

Embrace the captivating saga of Into The Mist and brace yourself for the exhilarating journey that awaits in Out Of The Dawn. To truly grasp the intricacies of this gripping narrative, immersing yourself in the depths of Into The Mist is an absolute prerequisite. Understanding the characters, their perilous situation, and the unfolding events demands a foundation laid by the first book.
The relentless battle against the mist persists. Its ever-changing nature continues to wield profound influence, bestowing extraordinary powers upon some women while striking fear into the hearts of others. Remarkably, the mist's eerie impact extends to a few courageous men, a rarity given its lethal reputation. This pivotal shift dramatically alters the trajectory of the tale, thrusting our protagonists into uncharted territory.
Marvel at the awe-inspiring world meticulously crafted by PC Cast. Witness the sheer determination of these women as they construct their homes from the raw elements of mud and clay. They have metamorphosed into a resilient tribe, fashioning a new reality amidst adversity. Their profound connection to the earth and their reverence for it are profoundly moving. Their survival is not just a desire but a necessity, a testament to their unwavering spirit.
It covered various themes that were touched with delicacy but importance, and I liked watching the characters evolve and grow together. Although I liked the magic system, I didn't quite understand it and I still have the uncertainty of where the mist came from and what was its purpose. However, I still enjoyed the nail-biting suspense and the sisterhood of these characters.
