When I first read the novel, Lost Stars, I had mixed feelings... the second time, I loved it.
This is the first of three manga adaptations of Lost Stars. The art is good, and the characters look like I imagined them from the novel.

OMG!! Where to begin?!? I put off reading this novel for so long because it is post-apocalyptic, which I'm not interested in AT ALL. However, it was AMAZING!! The setting jumps throughout various periods of time and follows several different characters. The novel is full of intertwined stories and details and includes flashbacks and several recurring themes. There is no way to explain how well-written this novel is. I loved it so much!
  
I really enjoyed this collection of survivor stories. This was truly inspirational. At this moment, I have been dealing with some personal drama that has made me give up hope. It was truly a blessing that I found this novel as a Kindle First novel.

This book shows that we can all survive horrid situations. This is a good book if you're wanting an inspirational novel that shows the strength of survivors or horrid situations.
