Swan Song by Robert R. McCammon
4.5

Swan Song is a post-apocalyptic story about the survivors of a nuclear holocaust. It felt very similar in a lot of ways to The Stand but it was also different enough. McCammon did a great job with the writing. The whole story felt very real and the way he clarified what happened in each chapter before moving on was so useful, in a book that is this long. He didn't do it in a conspicuous way, but the chapters always reinforced what just happened and I really appreciated that. 

This book was on my radar but not officially on my TBR. However, after trying and DNFing a couple of disappointing dystopian/post-apocalyptic books this year so far, this was recommended to me and I loved it!
