I really enjoyed the first book, but this sequel was such an amazing surprise! I was shocked by how much I enjoyed it and how emotional I felt at the very end!
Setting this book 12 years into the future allowed us to jump into the mind of new characters but still stay with Evan, whose death was so beautifully written and was emotionally devastating to me .
One of the things I believe in most is community, community-building, and caring for each other in society. This book showcases many different ways society had been rebuilt and how different groups of people found each other and built new (or returned to old) ways of living.
It was really powerful to read how the indigenous people in this book banded together and worked with the land to grow & strengthen their communities.
Dystopian fiction that focuses on how people come together in the small scale is one of favorite micro-genres and this series exemplifies that.
