A good premise, but…
Perhaps a rating of 3/5 is generous, but the uniqueness of the story line was the deciding factor. The book has a lot of mistakes/typos that could have been prevented with proper editing, but the biggest complaint I have are the inconsistencies in the story. Things just magically appear and disappear from the possession of the characters…they found “many canned goods” at the start of a day and at the end of the day had only a few things remaining; she left home with a pistol and ammunition, but then was seldom, if ever used. All EMP books have some unbelievable things, but a book store that was gutted by fire had several books “hardly touched by the fire.” And they just happened to be on sailing and navigating using the stars. They reach the city of Mobile, Alabama (population close to 200,000) and hardly see a soul? Then there is the same description over and over…crumbling roads (only a couple of weeks after the event, the smell of plastic in the smoke, houses falling down, etc. It almost seemed like AI had been used to generate much of the description and conversation. So while the storyline had promise, the execution of it was not that great.

Good story
I liked the way the siblings didn't talk much. They worked together to survive and faced all problems together. It seemed like the story was believable for the most part.

This book needs more proofreading and editing; many errors in syntax, spelling and grammar.

Very goo
I found this book entertaining, and well written. I am fast becoming a fan of apocalypse type stories with books like this!

Though the story wasn’t bad, the editing was horrendous! The book was so full of editing errors that it was difficult to enjoy the story.
