Let me say that I loved this book! I read the first book, The Wildlands and thought it was wonderful, but maybe a bit on the tame side&#8230;not this one&#8230;this is a grittier, meaner, and much more emotionally heavy book. I will admit that I got choked up several times as I&#8217;ve become invested in Rayn and Luk and their lives.

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wow&#8230;<br />
What else can I say?  It&#8217;s wonderful&#8230;exciting, interesting, sad at times and funny at others.  The main characters, Rayn and Luk are the kind of fictional creations that you sort of wish were real&#8230;that you could actually meet them.</p>
<p>Their journey across the remains of the United States is harrowing and exciting and it kept me enthralled&hellip;<span class="activity-read-more" id="activity-read-more-9977"><a href="https://yabookscentral.com/activity/p/9977/" rel="nofollow ugc">Read more</a></span></p>

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What A Discovery<br />
This is one of the best YA novels I&#8217;ve read in a while.  It&#8217;s original, full of characters that you instantly take a liking too, and it has an emotional impact, much like Hunger Games.  I felt Rayn&#8217;s pain when she had to say goodbye to her parents&#8230;heart wrenching.</p>
<p>Great mix of excitement, love, and laughter&#8230;it was has an&hellip;<span class="activity-read-more" id="activity-read-more-9975"><a href="https://yabookscentral.com/activity/p/9975/" rel="nofollow ugc">Read more</a></span></p>
