Not a great book, but I am going through the pages and highlighting anything that feels verifiable/falsifiable and not the author's conjecture.

For example, it's hard to prove "group A's ideas were because of group B" but much easier to say "Why did a 7th century king of middle England mint coins that say 'There is no God but Allah' if there was no Muslim influence in the island?"

For example, it's hard to prove "group A's ideas were because of group B" but much easier to say "Why did a 7th century king of middle England mint coins that say 'Alhamdillah' / praise be to Allah" if there was no Muslim influence in the island? Doesn't add up."

So far, nothing's happened. Slow start.

Good. Worth it. You might even be able to enjoy it without reading the first 3 books. Almost.

I read the first 150 pp then skimmed the next 150 pp and decided this story wasn't the story I had hoped it would be. Instead of being about the vast world outside, it was only about the small prison inside. And I just wasn't interested in a police procedural dystopia theme. I wanted to know how the human condition would evolve after the world had been destroyed.
