I great apocalypse story, different from many I have read previously. It is very emotional due to the apocalypse happening at the start. The characters grown on you as you read.
Trigger warnings for suicide, suicide attempt, death, animal death, short descriptions of gore.

A different kind of "magic" book. I very much enjoyed it, good world building, magic building, and none of the characters are without something human about them. Easy to get into, hard to get out of your head.
