Not in a bad way or a personal way, just in a wow, Dan Gemeinhart brought so many emotions to the story that you felt with the characters and sometimes I couldn't handle hearing Coyote get in trouble again or lose something again or make a mistake again. I don't think Coyote's dad made it like a big problem if she did something wrong, but I could still feel his disappointment in her/the situation. ...more

I have a very hard time comprehending verse for some reason, so I listened to about a quarter of it and had no idea what had happened.

There did come a point where I thought, will anything good ever happen to them, but it did have a somewhat happy ending. It made me want to start hoarding water though even though I live by Lake Michigan. Granted, I'm still 30 miles from the lake. Ok I live walking distance from a river. ...more

I thought they would have the man narrate all Colin's parts and the woman do all Nevaeh's parts, but it worked that they only alternated by chapter anyway. I'm excited to see that the next one comes out Sept 12, 2023. I liked the character development and am glad that we get the same characters for the series. I'm also glad they wrapped up this storyline and will start a new one in the next book. ...more

It was focused on characters and not so much on plot. Which just means it was very well written but not my favorite type of story. Nothing against her. I listened to it on audio because it was done by Ramon de Ocampo, who is fantastic. And honestly, for having like 12 fully developed characters, it was done really well. Each one had their own personality and you knew what to expect from each of them. Imagine a Rob Buyea book but even more characters. ...more

I thought it was interesting how the book said it was going to be from Drew's perspective, but at least the first 1/3 of the book was still Jordan's perspective. I didn't mind though because it eased us in from the last book into this one. Quick listen at about 2 hours. ...more

It was really meaningful to me because I'm going through some problems in relationships and Peter is, too. I'll probably buy this book because it meant so much to me. And I did cry a little. It's a sad but not too sad and hopeful book. I highly recommend it. I hadn't read Pax since it came out, and I think it would have helped a little but mostly I knew what was going on, so it could stand alone. ...more

I'm not a music person, and I was expecting more civil rights stuff after Revolution, so this was not the book for me. It made a decent road trip book since the main plot is a road trip, but while I'd definitely pick up Revolution again, I probably won't read Anthem again. But I love all the work that the author put into this book and the whole trilogy. On the audio you get to hear the author speak! ...more
