Ho-hum

Being a free book, it was something to read on my genre. The story moved along ok but was really simple. There were a few mentions of prayer and the language wasn't tawdry til the final chapter. That was when the author couldn't hold it any longer.
I did finish the book and gave it an average rating. I was being really generous.

Good story

Just long enough to experience the apocalypse and the challenges the homesteaders faced, but not drawn out over multiple books. One might said it was a Pollyanna view but I enjoyed it.

it was ok but not like Colton’s other stories

The premise was good but seemed to drag to me. And i fought the feeling that there was a lot of religion in thought, ie from characters but there was.

Still a good story

Fair

The book had a fair story line, but was very repetitive, unrealistic, and naggy. I had to force myself to finish it.

For the 1st time in a long time, I skimmed the last 30%. Book was really choppy in story line and just don’t like. Was hoping would get better, but just didn’t happen.

2.5/5⭐️ this started out as a good concept but wasn’t executed well. The writing was extremely juvenile and repetitive. The dialogue was unbearable.

I found this book for free on a website for free kindle books. And I really enjoyed it. The way the author captured the story was done really well. I'd like to see a sequel made as to how life changed once the power was restored, and how many decided to continue living off the grid. Would also like to know if the doctor made it to his daughters house.
