Most of Zara's life she had been living in the woods, training to survive in the wilderness. Just her mom, her father and the sound of peaceful nature. But that peace is shattered when Zara's father pushes her past the breaking point in her survival training. Forced to leave, Zara and her mom go to the city- mysteriously with her father. You can take the girl out of the woods but you can't take the woods out of the girl- and this rings true as Zara attempts to adjust to urban life. During this jarring transition, the world slowly becomes a place of fear and of doomsday, and only Zara, with her extensive training, can help.
Gone Dark was alright, it wasn't terrible, but it wasn't something special either. It was just your average end of the world teen novel, with a traumatized main character and few forgettable side characters. The book as a whole had a rather predictable plot and often led to boring chapters full of fluff.
