The story opens with a deeply flawed character faced with a life altering event and choice, and I was hooked. Science fiction, end of the world as we know it and zombie novels are my favorite reads. And usually, they start by introducing the lead character in everyday normal life, and then the bad thing happens to them. In this book, the story opens with a fully developed character, complete with back story, deep flaws. She is so well written that the reader doesn't need a lot of detail about her past, in order to get on with the story. I always like and appreciate strong, well written female characters (there are two in this story), and especially love it when they are the main character. These two are very well written and convincing. A lot of male authors, and even many female authors mess it up. But these two characters are likable and believable.
The story drops its characters into a mysterious place and situation, for reasons we don't know, to face unusual dangers. The burning mysteries...why, where are they, what's going on...little bits of information is revealed along the way, and new mysteries crop up. The balance between mysteries, reveals and action were exciting and entertaining.
My one suggestion to the author would be to have the cover, description and release date of the next book in the series up on amazon, and ready for pre-sale, or so that readers can put it on their amazon list. That way, the reader can be locked in to the next book, either by having pre-purchased or on their list, without having to remember. I read a lot. And I mean A LOT. I will have read dozens of books from dozens of authors before the next in this series is published. I am likely to forget about this series.
All in all, this is a very well written book. The characters are well defined, very different from one another, easy to care about. The plot progresses in good dramatic fashion, with a balance of mystery, action and science fiction. If you like this genre, you will like this book.
