Overall Thoughts:
⁕ This book is more an exploration of the characters’ faiths than a typical apocalyptic adventure. It was an unexpected and different perspective to the genre that was interesting to read, even if I didn’t necessarily relate to or understand it all.
⁕ I LOVE that McWilliams also included Beth’s (Agnes’ sister) narrative! I think she captured the sibling relationship perfectly, and their contrasting personalities added depth to the text.
⁕ Agnes’ abilities sometimes felt too powerful in that they prevented her from experiencing a lot of obstacles/conflict that would have made the story more interesting.
