I liked the characters and how they interact .

the ai reader didn't do the voices as well as human. I just like a human reader better.

AI voice isn’t bad but this story is

The perpetual mention of the Great Lakes proves that this author has never been there. There are no orange trees for a thousand miles of the Great Lakes. He also speaks of the lakes like they are a recreational area when you actually have to travel hundreds of miles to go from the southern most lake to the northern most. Having read hundreds of post apocalyptic titles and there were just too many holes and inconsistencies. It had potential but just fell flat. Don’t stop writing though you’ll get there.

virtual voice is awful

virtual voice is terrible, it loses the moment and has poor effect. I'd like the option of real people doing the reading.

wooden stiff narration

I kept thinking the timing was wrong and flat. which kept throwing off the rhythm of the story. didn't realize that it was a virtual voice until the end. Will make sure in the future to notice the narrator and not select a book that is narrated virtually. really bad.

The author should have read EMP books before writing this one.

poor story, good voice total waste of time, I'm glad it was free, I finished it hopping it would get better, but not.

It was so bad. Unimaginative & Ridiculous.

I tried. I got about half way through. The situations these characters found themselves in and their responses were absolutely ridiculous. I wanted badly to like the story and the characters and I kept thinking it just had to get better but it never did. A little girl with a special power to sense danger and adults that did not have a bit of sense. It was so so bad. I finally gave up.
