Decent post-apocalyptic story with an interesting world. The author's other story in this world, The Stone Road, is much better, and I would heartily recommend that one over this.
This book feels like it's had about 10% of it's details chopped out. Not even in a "not enough explained about the world" way, I quite like the mysterious and piecemeal world building; it feels like the actual plot is missing a very small amount of beats. Things are blamed on the main character for little to no reason, or he makes what seems to be a good decision and no one else thinks so. I dunno, maybe it's an unreliable narrator situation and I missed it, or something else.
