It's another book with an interesting idea. Escaping to Alaska because of World War III, and a group of people who apparently have supernatural powers. It wasn't until I read the summary that I realized that Juneau's clan vanished, which led her to go find them...so I don't know if it wasn't explained well, or I just wasn't paying attention (although I suspect it's the latter). And she finds out that everything she was told growing up was a lie. I don't know how I feel about that, because I was expecting something more post-apocalyptic...and didn't get it. Which is my own fault for not reading the summary. Part of me was intrigued by the idea of survivors in Alaska, since you don't normally read about people escaping there. At the same time, I kind of like that it was a lie, because you're left wondering what happened. 
 Personally, I didn't care enough to keep going, and After The End also seemed slightly confusing. There are hints that something's going on, and that Juneau is the key to something, but you don't know what. It just felt like the things I wanted to know weren't going to be revealed anytime soon, if at all. Also: Juneau narrates part of the book, while Miles narrates the other half of the novel, and I found that I didn't care about either narrator, who seemed very much the same to me. I honestly couldn't tell you anything about Miles, since his chapters were only a page or two. And the only thing I remember about Juneau is that she seems to have a supernatural ability. Interesting idea, but not for me.
