Didn’t like the plot, or characters, and it was far too monotonous and depressing.

Really liked it especially the parallels to King Lear! 4.5
Am now watching this on Hbo - hits in a different way in our post pandemic world!!

I love an apocalyptic story this one did not disappoint. My only complaint is that I’d love to read more of the stories of there characters.

Easily one of my favorite books of all time.

Aggressively average. Technically fine but overall just boring and never comes together. Too many things feel like they happen for the sake of happening.
