(view spoiler)[ meh. this one hasn't really caught me yet and pulled me in

I can't imagine struggling to survive like that. carving up the horse and then all the dangerous creatures that arrived. THEN the dangers in the water? AND he has some strange old arm of the government tracking him down?

I love that the one town still used money, though. scary that it makes outsiders able to manipulate their market. lol that there is just money rolling around in the cities.

I love the bird and the cat but I kind of hate that they talk. it's an odd side note to the story and didn't make much sense to me why that would happen.

I do like that he's a bit older and he is one of the oldest around.
I'm not understanding much about the Disease X but I do get dying from preventable diseases and infections. Dying from an infected tooth would just suck.

The mom really excited for her son to have kids in this world? absolutely not. I would never want that. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ somehow I'm still not really feeling the pull of this story. I'm finding it oddly. . .dry - I'm just not invested.

anywho, love that he had that tattoo on his head - it really saved him

and the ants sound just awful! ugh! I can't even imagine someone dying that way. thank goodness the girl came back and saved him. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ wow, I had wondered what had started this all - the avian flu. yikes, bird flu. that's a little close to home right now, right?

and that was scary that she caught it and had to fight it. love that Peau gave an herb that helped her survive/get the fever down

I could have gone without the cat going into heat and the bird and the cat having a moment. Eesh 😬☹️

Flynn is definitely going to catch them again. I wonder how this all ends. (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha]

and done

(view spoiler)[ ugh, so disappointing. Eva was alive that whole time? that felt so unrealistic. and then that the girl traveling with him was his daughter? so many coincidences I just don't believe really happen.

and I thought the final interaction with Flynn was a bit of a let down too. he just threw himself off the cliff into water?

hmmm. . .I just think I maybe never connected with this one so the ending felt silly instead of this amazing revelation (hide spoiler)]
