There were many things I liked about this book, and some I did not like. There are some spoilers here if you care.
I liked how real the depictions and descriptions of 'life after ...' were. Especially the archer and bowmaker information. However, each time we met someone new, there were too many coincidences....oh, and she's a vet, oh, and she practiced swords, etc.
Cowans and Covens and Witches and such are not for me. There were an awful lot of terms that were unfamiliar to me, and I just didn't ...more

Some communities and groups band together to survive while others band together to exploit others. The rest die for the most part.

This is the first book in a series that takes place after an apocalypse of sorts. Electricity no longer works and anything with any kind of combustion has been severely suppressed. The survivors don't know what caused it, theories range from an angry deity or deities to Alien Space Bats. In the end, the how and why don't really matter, what matters is survival.

Excellent escapist fiction.
I like this one the best of the three in this series, but the other two are pretty good as well.
