Rather than serving up suspense and survivalist prepper action, this bleak tale deals in the fatalistic drama of slow deprivation, entropy, and regret as supplies diminish and safeguards fail. Readers may be reminded of introspective, worst-case-scenario survival sagas like The Mosquito Coast.
The Quest for Avalon is complex and exciting. On this journey, Nikki Bennett took me through a wildfire, rising sea levels, superstorms, and earthquakes. The descriptions are vivid, and it was easy to visualize the events. It was a page-turner that kept me on the edge of my seat. With all the twists and turns, I never knew what would happen next. The chapters flowed into each other and were easy to read. The characters were brilliantly developed and authentic.
