I do ...I enjoyed this book but didn't love it. I do remember having to pile blankets on while reading it, because I got sympathy-cold for them, and I kept fretting about not having enough emergency food in the pantry. I actually started the second book but only made it a few chapters. It's an entirely different set of characters facing the same situation, so...why do I care?

I also have problems when books are slow and I really don't think I could deal with the flat characters. Oh well. :/ Great review though!<br /><br />Tracy @ <a href="http://www.cornerfolds.com" rel="nofollow">Cornerfolds</a>Tracy https://www.blogger.com/profile/10715236765292209452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-72434037654729801902016-10-24T20:49:23.013-06:002016-10-24T20:49:23.013-06:00I agree with you about most of this.

I actually bought the second one, but then I heard not great things, so... I am not sure I'll ever actually read it. Great review, sorry this wasn't better for you!Shannon @ It Starts at Midnighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10043593641190645773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-3158101777832908362016-10-24T12:18:56.242-06:002016-10-24T12:18:56.242-06:00I disliked this so much!

If the moon were closer to Earth then the pull of gravity most certainly would affect the tides, cause earthquakes and activate volcanoes etc. The moon and it's gravitation pull is quite powerful and plays a big part in how the Earth works!<br /><br />It was an interesting take on the whole end of the world thing but you're right when you say the characters fell flat. And the whole time all I was doing was waiting around for something ELSE to happen. Things kept happening but they were too far away from the main character.<br /><br />I've never picked up the next book in the series and I have no interest in carrying on.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.simplyadrift.com" rel="nofollow">Jordon @ Simply Adrift</a>Jordon @ Simply Adrifthttp://www.simplyadrift.comnoreply@blogger.com
