4.0

Overall a really solid post-apocalyptic book. It’s focused on character development and change as well as the tension of holding onto the past or moving into the future and the divisions it causes. I enjoyed the timeline shifts and weaving of station eleven throughout. There was some unique locations for survival I haven’t seen before, ie the airport, plus the traveling symphony. I wish Jeevan’s was a little more interconnected with the future timeline. The prophet could have been flushed out more and I felt his storyline conclusion was a bit anticlimactic.
