I loved the first half of the book. The second half, not so much. I will buy the next book in the series
I have some issuesThere was very good writing here. But the world-building was flawed and detracted from the whole.A lot of focus was placed on the crossbow and then it essentially disappeared from the novel. This happened a lot: things were central and important and then they stopped being mentioned. I also take issue with the MC. She was very MarySue without being MarySue. Rich, distant parents who lavished her with money, yet she has none of the expected hang ups of entitlement. Survivalist t...
Such an interesting idea. But every choice the protagonist is always the right choice. The story lacks tension and doesn't create an emotional connection to the story. I wanted the author to delve into the story more deeply. The first half of the story is found family and surviving the apocalypse. And its a really well researched and thought out survival. It's impressive. But all the characters (and there a quite a few) are introduced but just barely. You don't love them. You aren't rooting for
I got this free on Kindle Unlimited so I can’t grumble too much. I’m not the target audience for this but I imagine some will lap it up. I read a review that said it was reminiscent of Lucifer’s Hammer by Larry Niven. Well, yes it is, in that there’s an event that brings down civilisation and everyone goes Frontiersman very quickly. This lifestyle is obviously very appealing to the author (and seemingly to Americans in general) being a mixture of hard work, good folks and living off the land by
Where do I sign up for this "apocalypse" that rids the world of plastics and fossil fuels???Disjointed story telling, no actual conflict or romance, the heroine has no character growth, everything she does is reactionary.First half is doomsday prepping, second half is Hogwarts:Boot Camp Edition. I wish it skipped the first half. Or, when she was recounting her past during Boot camp, we could have learned a short version of the prepper story then.Why even bother showing the faerene's POV if it's
FascinatingThe heroine is a learned, skilled individual that takes practical steps to survive. The time after the Fae apocalypse was dry but glossed over a lot of unpleasantness. The unity of the town was refreshing.The viewpoint of the Faerene was interesting and the trial traumatic. I'm looking forward to book 2!
Let's start with go ahead and read this book. There's enough interesting elements and the the book itself is fairly short. I see a lot of potential for this writer further down the line. She's got that ineffable spark that makes readers keep turning pages even when the thinking mind is less than enchanted. Sounds like a backhanded compliment, but that's not how I meant it. What is see is a writer who would benefit from a writer's group (or beta readers) and a substantive edit but who has the raw...
Loved it!Once again Jenny Schwartz has surpassed herself and given us another new world to enjoy. This time combining the world of preppers with the fae and post apocalyptic earth. Amy is a wonderfully strong young woman who seems to take most things in her stride and manages to make friends everywhere she goes. The characters, both human and fae, griffin, werewolf, etc are well written with personalities that are not based on their species; and I find that more interesting and realistic, becaus...
A promising start (warning - semi - spoiler alert. You're going to get to it pretty quickly anyway)Short, well - written, and an eady read - presumably the series will gain depth as it progresses. I enjoyed the departure from the more common storylines used to connect the convergence (disastrous or otherwise) of the magical and mundane realms. A nice bit of genre bending deftly done woven lightly into the book (OK sorry I have to say it : Evil insectoid space aliens ! Fae saviors (or are they ?
Wow!This is such a good book and such a good series thus far . I'm really glad the second one was already done so I can keep reading. I love the connections and I love their personalities and how they mesh and I love how they showed that they can work together instead of being enemy simply because they're different. I was so incredibly happy to read at the end of the book that Amy we can get to go back to her family and that she would bring them with her and make them a part of that family. And
WeirdThis is the 3rd series I’ve now read by this author. I am both intrigued and frustrated! I loved the first half of this book!!! It was so good and flowed so smoothly and really made me care about Amy and the family she built. The 2nd half… not so much. But what is really starting to bug me is how the author highlights and showcases the twisted desires and political maneuverings of certain people/governments/groups, and builds all this (perfectly rational and justified) wary mistrust of said...
