★★★★★ “right up there with Hunger Games”I’ve reached my expiration date. Not that it matters. We’re all going to die.
To sixteen-year-old Micka, all words have flavours. Her emotions come with such force that she can’t help but carve them into her skin. The night she decides to kill herself, she meets Runner — a mysterious stranger who makes her question everything she’s learned about the end of … question everything she’s learned about the end of the world.
His message is terrifying: It wasn’t some mysterious disease that killed ten billion people. We did this. Humanity sleepwalked into climate disaster and ecocide, just to butcher and rape until blood stained the seas.
Micka is sure Runner is lying. Her instincts urge her to stay far away from him. But he makes her an offer she finds hard to resist. There are only two rules she must follow:
Kill.
Survive.
Because the final wars were never meant to end.

A really great book!
Liked the storyline. Need to read second book to find out more about characters.
I read all 3 in the series and am looking forward to the 4th when it comes out.
Post apocalyptic future in which an awkward and unpopular teenage girl from a backward and impoverished village is selected to serve her community in a very coveted role as a traveler warrior because of her stubborn toughness. She eschews public recognition and dodges any praise or accolades because she isn’t sure her selection wasn’t a mistake. …
Totally loved it. Want to read the rest of the books.
Ended up buying the second two and having difficulty putting books down. I think it was the characters that most captured me.
Well written. Excellent character development. Novel concepts.
A refreshingly oringinal story. I love the well fleshed out characters. I can’t wait to read the other two books!
Interesting story until it got sexual. Don’t mind sex but if same-sex partners are being explored I would have appreciated that info before purchase. Not against it just not interested in that particular story line.
Book grabs you from the start and it is tough to put down. Can’t wait to read the next one in the series.
