Interesting Idea for a post apocalyptic novel

I liked this more than I thought I would. The idea of tech being precieved as magic in the future. Though I will say the performance left something to be desired. There were odd pauses between characters that didn't make sense and sometimes the narrators flow would just stop. But over all it was a good book.

Received this copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Interesting and Fun

"I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review." this was a fun book to listen to. I like the twists in the post apocalyptic world.

Some might like this book but it was not for me

To me this book felt jumbled, disorganized, and went in way too many different directions. I have absolutely no desire to read the next book in the series. The narration was sometimes overdone but ultimately was good. I was voluntarily provided a review copy of this book in exchange for an honest unbiased review

Struggled to like and finish this one

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

I struggled with this one. The narration was really dry, which is odd, because Ian Coleman a good voice for it. He just needs to put more... personality into it. The other reason I struggled is that I felt there just wasn't enough information on what the apocalypse was, how long ago it happened, etc. It seemed like the "Wizard" wowed people with technology that a lot of the main characters remembered but no one else did? The Family, if technology was like magic to them, how are they able to produce drugs to sell and have plenty of guns and ammunition when the "Wizard" struggles to find ammo in the caliber of his gun? This may not bug other people but it just kept bothering me the whole time.

ok story but Audible reader was too monitone

"This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review."

I enjoyed the story but Ian Coleman the Narrator delivered the book in mostly a monotone style. This made it hard to listen to at times but I listen to the entire book for the storyline which I thought was good... Had Ian put a little life into his narration it would have been much more pleasurable...
