Interesting setting

The Islands at the End of the World

Bewertet mit 3 Sternen

At the beginning I have been struggling a lot to get into this book. Many slang words made it very difficult for me to follow everything at the beginning.

Throughout the book I started to enjoy the apocalyptic setting, even though there wasn't much happening storywise. I also liked the Hawaiian setting. We learn a lot about the history and culture as well, generally I found it very interesting but sometimes there was a little too much information.

I didn't like several religious references, there were too many for my liking. To the end it got really strange, not to say ridiculous. The explanation for the whole blackout was pretty weird.

There is a sequel to this book but as I had the feeling that this book had a real ending, I probably won't read the second book.
