I received a complimentary copy of this ebook for review.I liked the plot and the background for this story, a scientist and his daughter in search of how to make electricity work again.  There were several mysteries that made this story interesting; why the bugs attacked, what do they want, why doesn't electricity work the same anymore? The post-apocalyptic/invasion setting was great too, namely that there were so many things we now take for granted and the reader gets to see how almost a century without these technologies reshapes human cultures.  I also liked the diversity of societies that survive and adapt to this broken world as well as the characters being believable in how they deal with it.There were some aspects of the way the book was written that I didn't like so much.  Sometimes there was too much stream of consciousness, broken sentences and thoughts that were hard to follow.  Sometimes it got confusing whose point of view was being shown. Still it was rather entertaining.
