While much of the book is despair, the action is really unmatched. Just death match after death match. Nature turned malignant turning man the more so. Some cool developments that picked back up the pace after a little lull. Definitely worth finishing. Curious to see if any good will come out of all this.

Running into what I have before with any dystopian apocalypse type book, despair fatigue. It's just hard to read about such a difficult world. So much death and hopelessness. Curious to see where the glass orb thing goes. The bad guy seems interesting. A shit ton of The Stand similarities. King was more fun. This is more probably true to what a decimated world would be like.

Very very dark so far. But its a book about essentially the apocalypse. And it's doing it very well so far. Great story telling. Was originally recommended after reading King's The Stand, probably like a lot of people. I am doing the audiobook. Very optimistic. So much action so far. Can't not hook you. But dark. Lol
