This futuristic novel was refreshing and interesting and it caught my attention right off the back but her glowing in the water needed to be better developed and the last 1/3 of the story just peters out. I wish an editor would have helped the author wrap of this story better.
Well done!!!!! This apocalyptic novel REALLY was thought-provoking. The characters were solid with depth. Interesting story line all the way thru. Wanda was a survivalist. I didn’t like the ending nor do I understand if the light is “handed down” or mutated??? One of the better books I’ve read in 2023!
