This was an interesting read.
Multiple points of view following 2 groups of people. 1 group is fighting to survive a world where the power has gone out and a permanent winter has settled in over North America.
The second group seems to be living in secret, in a high tech, secret, underground city thats been separated from those on the surface for decades.
The plot is engaging and relatively quick moving. Most of the characters were likeable enough, others were kind of tedious. One of the characters actually calls out the behavior saying "this is how adolescents behave", and it's so spot on.
There was one major plot hole that really left me kind of confused.
When 1 of the characters was on the run, he decided to steal from some random person who just so happened to be someone who was involved in some kind of spying. It was oddly convenient.
All in all it was a fun little read. I'll be looking for book 2 soon.
