I want to start this off by saying I thought this book's plot had a lot of potential. But the book didn't meet expectations. First off I understand when a writer is creating an apocalyptic world there needs to be a lot f world building and background. But there was way too many details and most of them were scientific and not understandable. You can tell that the author did a lot of scientific research writing this book but it made me feel like I was reading a textbook. The plot was also very slow. I would skim over the scientific explanations and look for the storytelling element of the book. But it was quite rare to find. I honestly didn't even make it through the entire book.
I think the story overall had such potential. It reminded me of "Lord of the flies" or "Gone" by Michael Grant, but unfortunately that potential din't pan-out.
