I am so glad you loved this! Yeah, I would expect to know where the book would be going too, having read way too many post-apocalyptic books, so the fact that it surprised you completely had me so intrigued. And, of course, the characters. Multiple POVs tend to make the characters seem detached, so I'm happy this was not the case. <br /><br />Anywho, I need to go order my copy! Wonderful review!
