4.0

Appreciated the air of this book and the many mysteries and twists to be found throughout (which I thought were rather artfully executed all in all). I will admit that the narrative took a little while to truly grip me, and the ending with the overall solution to the village's problem seemed a bit abrupt, but it was still an interesting story about what kinds of morals people would develop after an apocalyptic situation (ie seeing the worst of what humanity could potentially offer) and what it even means to be human in the first place (can you truly be a human if you were only made to serve a purpose and nothing else?). I'm now looking forward to potentially reading more books by this author.
