An awesome prequel to the Remnant Chronicles' main series! I loved Morrighan and Jafir, and of course the chemistry they had together. I loved the tribe, and I love how I didn't really know what to think of Jafir's clan. I love how it shows two sides of the Remnant—the scavengers, desperate; the tribespeople, overly placating. I love the bravery of our main characters, and the voice of the narration. 
One qualm I have is the trope where part of the relationship's basis was "this is the first time they've interacted with someone around their age who is the opposite gender". However, this book delivers the trope quite well because it didn't feel forced down my throat, and that's definitely something because I despise this set-up with every fibre of my being. (Sorry for being harsh but it's true :'D)
On the other hand, while I also hate how many misunderstanding tropes are written, this was one of the rare exceptions where I actually enjoyed its execution!

Overall, the verdict is that it was a spectacular read, truly.
