This book was a collaboration between father and son. It follows the story of our world after the women population is put to sleep within fibrous shells after they fall asleep. Once enshrouded, they cannot be removed, or they become rabid shadows of themselves and attack any men present. The remaining men begin to turn on each other as they fight for resources. A woman by the name of Evie is the only woman that has not succumbed to this plague.
This book had an excellent plot that was well executed throughout its 700 pages. I also thought it was a well-crafted story around the aspects of the female identity within society. I know this wasn’t a typical King story for many of the longtime fans out there, so they likely won’t enjoy the story or the point it is trying to make. They only issue I encountered was how slowly the story developed. (3.5/5 rating)
