And yes there is almost a 12 Monkeys vibe, with the radioactive areas and Beast things.

(I didn't think I would because Idk, sometimes old-school stuff scares me.) It's almost like things have reset, in a way? And it reminds me a little of 12 Monkeys with the warring factions and the roving scavengers hah. And I kind of want to know what the secret is, and where they find it, and yeah, now I want to read this book! Great review, I am off to Goodreads!!
