The author had a good idea for her novel. Her depiction of a future, drought ruined West is well imagined and well told.
Her characters are simply awful. Shallow, silly, pompous and on the verge of being unbearable. The narration, particularly the parts read by Jorgeana Marie, doesn’t help. The extended passages of the main female character’s “thinking” almost got me to quit listening, something I almost never do. The real low points, however, are the dialogs. So stereotypical that they are almost funny. But not quite.
Not recommended. At all.
