This book was a great read for me and I devoured it in a day. This book was a first for me from thsi author and I look forward to hearing mre from them

This book was a great post apocalyptic story! A mix of post apocalyptic and magic, that I’ve never experienced before. It was such an interesting story and world to unfold. I finished in 2 days and I’m excited to read more. I found it was a little hard to follow at times with the different POVs, and some that barely got any POVs. I believe the character development could be worked on, I loved their growth but at times it felt very bland and that the characters blended together or was rushed. Overall I really enjoyed the story! Excited to see how the second one improves as I can only see it getting better from here.

I liked the world building and overall a good read; the concept of the book is quite unique to anything I have read recently so it was interesting to delve into this fantastical world. My only criticism would be that the book was a bit difficult to get into initially, perhaps due to the writing style of the author. Regardless, I will be picking up the next book in this series to see how the story develops.

Thank you NetGalley for a chance to read The Light After the Orange.

The premise of this story is so unique I couldn’t wait to read it. I did have a little bit of trouble getting into this book (not sure if it was the slow beginning or the writing style) but overall I enjoyed it. I liked the characters and the world. Also liked the idea of magic emerging after an apocalypse. I’m looking forward to the next installment.

Unfortunately, I could not get into the story. The multiple POVs could've worked, however, I felt lost as we didn't get enough of each person to understand what was going on. The writing style was also not for me.

I am sure this book is great but it wasn't a match for me.

I'm fascinated by books that talk about our world joining another where magic is real. This was a good and compelling story.
The world building is interesting, I lked the style of writing and the characters.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

This book is good, it's just not for me. The premise is interesting and the story lives in a rich world. I think that the audience that this is aimed at will love it.
