these are fun, post apocalyptic silliness

A fun, quick, don't-think-about-it-too-hard read, with a pleasantly diverse cast (multiple different non-white characters! LGBTQ characters!). Read the whole series in one day.

I really liked this one! MLM romance with asexual rep. Not sure how I feel about how the asexuality was portrayed in this one, but I know it’s a spectrum and I’d be curious how people who are ace feel about it.
I loved John and Michael! Their relationship was so sweet and they were both fully fleshed out. The plot also got more interesting as far as the reason for the worldwide blackout and we experienced more of the outside world in this story. There’s some seriously heavy content in this one so be sure to check out the content warnings.

Great ideas and well thought out, didn’t like it as much as the previous one but was happy he got his own book.
Felt like it finished a bit abruptly; I kept forgetting that id finished the book and thinking I had more to listen to, so maybe not the most satisfying summary.

I enjoyed the build up for the relationship and each character's backstory more in this one than in Radio Silence. I could have used a LOT less rape and sexual violence. I get that this is an apocalypse narrative and humanity does awful things when society breaks down, but when rape is used in a book it needs be treated differently. Here, it was simply shorthand to differentiate between the good guys and the bad guys. No thanks. Based on the set-up for the next novel, I REALLY hope it gets better. (But I'll tell you know, I'm already struggling with seeing the hero as anything but a slightly moral, cowardly piece of shit.) I guess we'll see how it goes!
