After searching for what seemed forever, I was able to find a Christian dystopian book that I enjoyed. The fact of the matter is it is hard to find any Christian books. Most lack a lot of Christian doctrine. Finding this book was amazing.
From the moment I started reading this book I felt connected to the characters. In a very real way I was able to see how me myself would react. I would probably be a lot like Eli. I feel like I would struggle to understand why God was doing this. In a real way I think I can tell how I would feel, because of COVID-19. During this time I have struggled to see all that God has done, but I have also see so much changed in my heart.
I love the way that Eli was able to use past knowledge to help better equip him and those around him to survive during this difficult time. He was able to some what keep a level head during such a difficult time. I love the characterization we see.
This book was the best dystopian book that I have ever read. Finding a good dystopian book is always a difficult task. Finding this book was amazing because of the fact that a was a Christian view on a dystopian book. Never before have I found any books that was a dystopian Christian story and I cannot was for Jill Williamson’s next book!!!
