This is suuuper not the kind of thing I would normally pick up, except it was for the podcast and except it's by Our Lady Nora Roberts. I still really didn't like the plague (I'm sorry, I mean "The Doom") parts, or the post-apocalyptic violent looting parts. And I don't know that the magical worldbuilding super...holds up to scrutiny? Although it's book 1 of a trilogy so maybe the next 2 books will explain how/why a virus turned people into fairies and elves, which seems like they should be unrelated species.

Anyway. Since it's Nora Roberts, what I DID like were the characters and their relationships.
