The hand-wringing by some of the characters got old pretty quick. Most especially later in the 2nd and in the 3rd books, when all the initial ordeals have had time to dink in. Seriously, black-clad & skull mask wearing marauders have been stealing your food, fuel, generator, shir at you, and chopped off your son-in-law’s head… but you feel it’s necessary to say “I don’t give second chances.”??? M*&herf¥kcr you’ve already let them have like 5 chances by now! And you *still* flog yourself mentally, searching your soul to decide if defending your loved ones and belongings is right or not??? Harden the hell up nancy-boy.
