Callum and Wren seemed rushed just to explain her actions in the 2nd half.

It's not incredibly deep like some apocalyptic series out there but touches on quite a few moral issues which I liked. <br /><br />The romance was a little odd and I think that Callum needed his own POV or more development. I always felt like maybe more was going on and I was missing it but it's still a nice relationship and a very different dynamic than most of the other YA romances out there. No insta-love at all. <br /><br />Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07685405404548766935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-7199699269938184652013-06-27T10:44:48.830-04:002013-06-27T10:44:48.830-04:00This does seem like the kind of post-apocalyptic/s...This does seem like the kind of post-apocalyptic/sci if that I tend to like.
