This was not at all what I expected, but it was a lovely read! 
It was described to me as the heroes 25 years after they saved the world, and they are each dealing with the trauma of the events in their own way and questioning what is right and wrong. It was described as an introspective novel. Though this is all true, there was a lot more action than I anticipated. 
I found the story and writing pleasing, if at one point a little slow. 
I definitely recommend this novel, but if you are squeamish (as I am), be warned there are a few scenes that can be difficult to get through.
