dark emotional tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated

I hated this book. It's the "humans are the real monsters" trope that's all to prevalent in all apocalypse style media. It was too unrealistic for the amount of realism they tried to put into it. The two main male characters were sexist pigs and the one relatively decent group of people was not enough community bonding and true human spirit for me to get over the rest. The ending is semi-satisfactory, at least.
