Slightly predictable with a large Ego
Okay so I guessed the big twist, it was a longtime coming, and usually I can appricate a book even when I think I know what’s coming, they always plant little leads for active readers. But I guessed it way too early and I was a little more complicated than what I was thinking and I definitely want to read the next book to find out more, but it felt like I was forceably dragging myself to the end of this novel. I read it in two days, 470 pages, that takes dedication.
I’m in a huge dystopian kick right now and this is the most cut and dry post-apocalyptic one that I’ve seen so far, so kudos. I know I’m rambling, it’s early.

I truly enjoyed this book - i can't give it 5* because there were a few moments I had trouble with but 4.5/4.75 ... close enough - but overall this was a solid book and very interesting. Viking stuff I didn't think would interest me but damn I had so much fun reading this. And a standalone - it wrapped up so nicely I kind of want to read it again.

I don't know how to feel about this! I enjoyed it a lot but I did speed through a lot of it in order to get it finished so I'm not entirely sure if I fully got the whole story. I enjoyed the narration but I'd love to set aside time and actually read this again because I think I'd probably get more from it a second time through

I so enjoyed how this book brought forth forgiving the past and learning from it.
Kyle Hunter is a new to me author. This book is part of a series and since I have not read the previous book and I was not confused I think it can be read as a standalone.
I loved Kyle Hunter's vivid descriptions of Mark and Laurens's travels through France (and I will admit I am a little jealous of them!). I also enjoyed the character interactions and the challenges they faced. But I will be honest with you, Lauren is not a very likable character through much of the book and I had a difficult time seeing past her wishy-washy self-centeredness. But I did enjoy the overall story. I thought Lauren’s quest to find herself was interesting and I liked the faith-based aspects of the story. So, I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
*I volunteered to read this story in return for my honest feedback. The thoughts and opinions expressed within are my own.
  
I absolutely loved this book....The author does creepy so well! A fast paced read and I couldn't put the book down. Well written, plot and characters. Get ready for a wild ride. I received an ARC copy for a voluntary, honest review.

I enjoyed this read. Living on Cape Cod gave me a different perspective. The descriptions were right on and I enjoyed reading a book with references to things I knew! The characters sucked me in and it was a very fast read.

I was hooked
I loved the development of the characters and the way the life of the protagonist was portrayed a bit at a time. I found her very relatable and cried a few times towards the end.

"This book is like a love letter to libraries, and made me nostalgic for the long hours I used to spend there when I was a kid. It’s a captivating story and I can’t wait for y’all to read it with me!"
