I received this book for an honest review. I started this book days ago but put it back down. Let me start by saying that first 30% of the book was a solid 1 star. It was boring, slow paced and the main character sounded like an old man. I did not like the slang in this book. The book was lacking world building and a good explanation about what happened for the world to change so dramatically. But I still ended up giving this book 3 stars which by my standard means that this more then a decent read.Tara just woke up on her birthday, together with her family, her adoptive granddad and Ben en the rest of the small community they will have a party at night. She lives at the Sandlands, were almost nothings grows due the lack of rainfall. The world we know it today doesn't exist in Tara's world. Her day started out so good with happiness has now turned to an absolute horror party.At the end she is all alone, set out to find her kin. The road is very bumpy and she discover that her family wasn't honest with her and she's is not that normal as she thought she was. I liked the fantasy aspect and with some more progress I started to like Tara some more. She is strong and brave. The additional characters Finn, Cat, Jax and Tater added the needed flavor to this book. Tater had so many funny wise words. I liked Jax and was hoping for some love building between them.After the first 30% this book started pulling me in more and more, I couldn't put it down anymore. So here I'am with a book that started out bad ended up being pretty good. Can't wait to read the sequel
