Ugh. I kept waiting for something to happen, but the writer was too busy showing how awful a post-nuclear world was.

Did I say ugh?

Great author! Beautiful descriptions of a loving marriage, the challenges of parenthood and family relationships, and life in France.

After a big explosion, the main girl fused with a doll. While her grandfather had a fan merged into his body after being exposed to a massive, destructive explosion that destroyed the world as we knew it? It’s impossible. How could it be? With plastic, glass, and steel melted into their bodies, how are these people still alive without infection?

The genesis of Baggott’s new world order also intrigued me. I still find this part of the narrative irritating, despite understanding its importance.

The author had an idea that could make a great story. This book takes place in a dystopian future where people live inside the dome under strict rules and regulations. Partridge longs for escape and wants to discover the truth about the world they left behind. In the world outside the Dome, Pressia lives in fear for the mutants that were created by the detonations decades ago. Pure is a story of lies, radiation, friendships, and conspiracies... But what is more important: safety or freedom?

There was the potential for it to be fantastic. It could have been amazing.

The characters are fine, the action scenes are decent, and the author did not water down the cruelty and violence. How poorly the author handles plot twists is something I dislike.The author builds the world poorly, and I don't like it. The villains kill people for no reason at the end, which I dislike.

Even though I didn’t hate this book, I felt let down by Baggott’s plotting.

There is no guarantee that I will continue the series.

I really enjoyed this collection. My first reading of this author and I thought the ideas she had and the way she drew them out and concluded were brilliant. I will be seeking out more by the writer and highly recommend this collection.
