It's Change Year 25, a generation after high-energy technology died in a catastrophe most of the human race didn't survive. The children born after the Change are now starting to take center stage - and Whoever or Whatever was behind the Change itself may be taking a hand in their rivalries. An expedition has travelled to Nantucked across a strange and hostile continent to find some answers.

Filler

This book was like a collection of backstories or novellas written for fans who want to know “just how did that one non impactful character end up living with this other background character?”
What I don’t understand is how a author writes so much filler and well. I expect a book that adds nothing to the greater story to be poorly written. This was well written, it was just frustrating because the story basically didn’t move forward at all. I’d say you could probably skip it.

Worst book of the series so far

Slow and full of random back stories and made up cultural filler.
He must have certain paragraphs on random repeat throughout the book. Even the series.
Topics and cultures are explained the same way a dozen times.
I will never get this time wasted back
