Intriguing, that's what this book is.
It's not particularly too exciting, and most of the plot and background stories of characters are vague, yet this book still had me hooked.
Just like the reviews are saying, this book is basically split into two completely different parts. The first part is where disaster strikes and survival is the driving force of the plot. I really liked this, even if it sometimes got a bit monotonous and some things were a little too convenient for my taste.
Then, very abruptly and pretty much out of nowhere, this book takes a sudden turn of events. It's not subtle, it's not gradual, it's very much like I was suddenly reading a totally different book with characters that were vaguely familiar to me. At first I didn't like this, but the second part grew on me and got more and more intense the closer I got to the ending.
For me the ending wasn't actually that much of a cliffhanger, it wasn't that shocking to me. However I am very much interested in how this will progress, so it's very likely I'll be continuing this series.
