Beth wants to runaway, she wants her sister to go with her, but secrets have come between us, hers is her forbidden relationship with Cory.
The prophet warned them of the end of the world, and it will come, sooner than they ever could have expected, and it will be Agnes who will find the truth of the fallacious religion she has always followed when she realises she’s the one that can ear God, that lies have shut her ears. But, no more, with the son of the nurse that has since helped her with Ezekiel she will learn to drive so she can leave and meet but she’s not counting that the end of the world has actually come and she’s the one that can stop it.
Beth will be shamed into her belief and will not go with Agnes but in the end she too will find who she is and always was.
I found Agnes pretty annoying in the beginning and Beth more agreeable. But, there was enough evolution in both for an interesting arc, but… I just couldn’t overcome the religious talk. It’s pointed out that God and religion, the prophet, they’re concepts loose and not cultish, but still, the mentions to the bible, the ideia of God, and all of the book really going about it didn’t make me connect with it as much.
I’m not religious but I respect religious people, but the plot was too intertwined with the bible’s God for me, although it was an interesting story and plot, and characters, it would have been cooler for me and I would have collected more with it, if the idea of God was more loose, a bit more like in I am Legend (the signs, the cure, and all of it connected to one person), also I found the end a bit too rushed, but maybe it was just how the author chose to do it.
If you’re not too bothered with religion i definitely recommend you to give it a go, as the book is good and interesting.
