Another one from the great list by Jared Sanderson. I usually hate the first part of post-apocalyptic books, so skipping the apocalypse itself was a great thing for me. This book is on the shorter side, and yeah, it was good for the first two parts and great in the third. I have no idea how the third part would work on its own, but after the first two parts covering civilization rebuilding from the ground up, the third part hit hard. I also have a soft spot for books about monks, so that is another plus.

What can you write about a series that people make 8-hour videos about? Maybe that I am looking forward to reading it for the second time. This is not the book where you are jealous of the people who will read it for the first time. Because the first time, you will be confused as hell. I have this review sitting in my todo for well over 6 months and I am still not sure if there is anything useful I might say… It is a masterpiece… if you like really weird books. And I do.
