Infelizmente não gostei nada apesar de estar com boas expectativas.
As personagens são bidimensionais no máximo e são forçadas em papéis de acordo com o gênero pouco compatíveis com ficção científica pós-apocalipse.
Também desgostei da recusa de dar nomes às coisas, algo tão típico do ser humano. "A ilha", "a guerra", "a resistência", isto faz com que a história pareça um sonho, o "worldbuilding" incompleto.

This series brought me all the good feelings I had as a 12 year old reading Dragonology books and fantasising about going on adventures and studying dragons.

Mistakes Were Made by Meryl Wilsner
Did not finish book. Stopped at 43%.

It's supposed to be a romance book, yet there's no emotional connection, so because of all the sex scenes it just feels like "Porn and no plot".
Sad because I really liked the other book by the same author, which indeed had an emotional connection
