4 1/2 STARS!
I’m not usually one to believe the “end of the world” type stories all that much, but I have to say this one was well written and the characters hooked me. Sure, there were some inconsistencies and some parts where I wanted more detail building up to something instead of having to assume such and such happened, but overall, I was invested in the story and was not putting the book down until I saw how it ended.
