It was entertaining to listen to the post-apocalypse aspects of the book with the pursuit of survival in comparison with the queer representation with Jamison and Andrew as both aren't really found in books, especially together, as there isn't often a whole lot of bisexual representation in media and to have queer representation in a post-apocalyptic book was nice to see and while I do think that some bits of dialogue surrounding either aspect could have been handled better, both the post-apocalypse and queer aspects were my favourite parts of the book. I hope to see them expanded upon in the next book.
I do wish that the communities and other survivors parts of the apocalypse could have been handled better as while I did like the side-plot of Henry taking in Andrew and Jamison as well as their later mission to find her daughter, I found that the other communities and survivors that we came across throughout the book weren't all that interesting and even the ones that we spent a lot of time with weren't always interesting and so I hope that the next book expands on the characters, outside of Andrew and Jamison, that we have already seen as well as introducing new characters that are just as interesting. I'm hoping to start the next book in the series soon as I found that even though I wouldn't rate this book majorly high, I still really liked being able to just have it on in the background and hopefully the next book will be the same.
