I’m quite disappointed that the book has so much errors. If not for these errors it seems to have been a nice book.

I sincerely hope that this author has taken the time to use your feedback constructively. I would love to see some strong improvements made in regard to the editing. In the meantime, this plot does sound interesting (I'm a sucker for an apocalypse storyline!)

Personally, I am a fan of apocalyptic books and the premise of this novel definitely sounds like a great read. I'm curious to know what Kaarina's and Monty's special abilities are and if they manage to reach safety while being hunted. I hope the book gets better editing before I read it. Congrats on the BOTD!

I am not a sci-fi reader. It is bad that the book has so many errors. I will skip it for now but I like the cover.

I was at once curious about the rating, having seen that this was BOTM earlier this year. But after reading your review, I understand. I would have hated to read a book that was so carelessly put together, and probably wouldn't not have had the patience to guess and figure stuff out while reading. Thank you for plowing through and giving an honest review.

The plot around the cybernetic chip that cures diseases and if Kaarina and Monty manage to join the Berserkers Guild seems interesting. Also, the characters' development and demographic descriptions are engaging. However, the book seems to have a lot of editing details to fix in future rounds of proofreading.

The plot is really intriguing and promising. It's a shame if the book is filled with editing errors as it can be detrimental to the reading experience. Thanks for the detailed review!

It's baffling that an author that paid attention to minute details such as different typography fro memories and dialogues overlooked other much more important aspects that led you to rate this book so low.
The premise seems original, so I hope the author considers improving the aspects you mentioned.

Post by Kirsi Cultrera »

This book is undoubtedly too scary for me. I don't want to read anything about chips, altered DNA, or abnormals with special abilities. I also don't think I would enjoy a book with so many grammatical or formatting problems, as that sort of thing tends to take my concentration off the story.

Thank you for the lovely and truthful review!

Kaarina and Monty seem to be special individuals with unique talents. Your description of the Dead Zone intrigued me.

Thank you for the great review.

I'm interested in this plot and I like the world-building. However, the numerous negative points mentioned in the OBC review make me reluctant. I think I will skip this book, but congrats!

Thank you for a thorough and honest review. I will have to pass on this book as I am not a fan of science fiction. The grammatical errors would also make it difficult for me to connect to the story. I hope others enjoy it once corrections are made to the book. Congrats on BOTD.
