I love post apocalypse/apocalypse stories and this was no exception, the pacing while a little slow in the beginning was right for the story. The story really starts gets exciting when Claire gets her memories back and the plot comes into focus and questions you've had throughout the book are answered. I will admit one of the big twists of the story confused the hell out of me, and I wasn't sure if I would like the direction the story was going to go in. And, while it was an odd way to go it didn't take away from my enjoyment.
The romance is a slowburn and I really liked that for them since Claire is suffering from amnesia and Dorran was her caretaker while also being a literal stranger to her.
The book ends on a cliff hanger and I'm excited to read the second book asap.
