Eh. Unlikeable protagonist, lots (and lots and lots) of uninteresting down-time between very brief action sequences, and a ton of romantic hand-wringing. I'd been looking forward to this (while the audio version of Forest of Hands and Teeth was terrible, I enjoyed the story), but this was just ... boring. 
 I don't feel as strongly about it as The Roy Girls, but I'm still unimpressed. I do like that it can function well enough on its own, without the context of Hands and Teeth, but "it's okay by itself too" is hardly a ringing endorsement. 
 ETA: The official trailer for this book looks like a 1970s art film, spliced with early-'90s horror chase scene. If all I had to go on was that trailer, I wouldn't have picked this up. 
 ALA Midwinter ARCs are currently 1:4 (good:not-so-good) for me, which is really sad when I was really excited about 3 of them. Annual had better have something good for me.
