Review: Good concept, but lacks follow through
Rating: 2 out of 5

I really enjoyed other books from this author, but found this one a bit disappointing. The concept was really interesting, and wish it was explored more fully, as it has enormous potential. What would happen if 99.99% of people on the planet disappeared overnight? No struggle or violence, just gone? But the idea was diluted by unexplained appearance of mythical creatures, changed rules of physics, and the unplausible explanation of the survivors all having psychic abilities. I was also a little irritated by the romantic relationship in the book, there was too much starting and glaring and too little normal communication and straight forward talking.
