In a post-apocalyptic world that has been devastated by swarms of killer flies, a few survivors struggle to find meaning and a new life. The story is told from three different points-of-view and at the beginning is a little confusing, but everything comes together beautifully in the end. I've always been drawn to the idea of an apocalyptic world, but even more so with all the events from the past year. So, naturally, I wanted to read The Electric Kingdom and was instantly captivated by the writing style and insights into the characters. So much of the book was thought-provoking and some of the lines so beautiful that I frequently had to stop and reread a certain passage. I felt all the characters were well-written and the storyline was full of action, even if the story was more character-driven. This is a beautiful story and I am grateful for the opportunity to read it.
