This book was more <i> Tomorrow, When the War Began </i> than <i> Lord of the Flies </i>, but at times it felt like it was missing something. Maybe there's more deeper, biblical meaning that went over my head, but it seems like plot elements just kind of appeared and disappeared without a whole lot of explanation. The premise was solid and Eve was a good narrator - I appreciated how the story was told, I just wish there had been a bit more to it.
Moderate: Death, Death of parent, War, and Injury/Injury detail
Minor: Fire/Fire injury

Täysiä tähtiä kirja ei kuitenkaan saa, koska välillä joitain kritiikkejä ja ajatelmia oli kirjoitettu ehkä vähän liiaksi auki. Vertauskuvallisuus ja kaoottisuus sopi kirjaan paljon paremmin.
Edit: Kirja jäi niin vahvasti pyörimään mieleen, että kävin nostamassa arviota!

There’s only a few elements to pinpoint the timeline, but it just feels rushed and not at the same time. There’s an element of Lord of the Flies (but better) and Station Eleven to it all.
