All moms could relate to this one! There isn’t anything we wouldn’t do to protect our little ones. I was immediately hooked. All the books in the series hit me on some emotional level but this one took the cake. Relationships are challenged. Theirs more at stake. I think I really enjoy the time line and how much time has passed since the outbreak. We’ve been able to really dive into every aspect of survival.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the fifth book in the Antipodes series, and it’s been a joy witnessing the character development and world building expand throughout the series.
Cam and Freja must once again come together, but this time it’s a little different. Their children are in danger, and they must work together to protect them despite their issues with each other. Given the previous books, I didn’t see this storyline coming, but it was so good!
As usual, this is an emotional journey for the characters as well as the reader as we are drawn into their lives, but well worth the emotional torment to see how it ends. I was again able to step into the story and picture myself there alongside the characters with the descriptive language used and the easy-to-follow writing style the author has makes the experience even more enjoyable.
The character’s emotions in this book felt that much more vivid and the turmoil they feel is heart-breaking. The progression in Cam and Freja’s relationship though left me hopeful and loving the two of them all the more!

The author is very talented in both their style of writing and their ability to create an ongoing narrative which constantly leaves you guessing. I will certainly be looking out for more books by this author moving forward.

Another threat to their community, but now it is on their turf. Everybody has to ban together to protect what they’ve built. Love for family and for their people puts pressure on everyone’s role and decisions. Read this book if you like challenges, love, and loyalty.

Have you started this set yet?? If not you need to!! Go grab them all and buckle down for a great story! This series can totally become a movie that I would watch! It is so good!! For those who haven’t read any of the books yet I will TRY not to give any spoilers from any of them, but if anything small slips in any of my reviews I apologize. It is such a great set and so much happens in ever single book! The first two books are in Cam’s point of view. The third starts in his view, but then switches to his wife’s (Freyja) point of view. Book 4 and 5 are also in her point of view. So here we go again…. After getting MORE life changing news, AGAIN! The residents of Lewis (& Roseglen) are once again thrust into the thick of things to protect their families. Drastic action is required and they are forced to see who behind this latest threat. Will life ever be normal again for this world? All they want is to be left in peace, be free, safe, and secure. Is that to much to ask in a post apocalyptic world? Discovering this newest threat and eliminating it is the only course here to keep their children protected and safe. Before it takes all their lives Freyja, some old friends, and even some new friends are forced into action. What will happen next?! I am sad that this set is coming to a close, but I can’t wait to read book 6 either! I am SO glad that I choose to read this series! As my first post apocalyptic set I am loving it more and more with each book. The author created this world, it’s characters, and all their stories so well. I can picture it all and some of it is quite scary to think about! Who knows what will come of the world! Off to read book 6 and find out!!

Two decades have come and gone since the beginning of the storyline’s pandemic. Our fledgling societies have begun to struggle with fear, discrimination, and paranoia. Some main characters struggle with PTSD. The author forced characters to come to terms with serious issues that impact a beginning society. This has been an incredible journey!

Okay, the beginning of this book threw me. I even went back to book 4 to make sure I hadn’t missed anything, so right off the bat I was deeply invested. What a wild rid this book was! As always with this author, packed full of adventure and full of twists and turns! The ending was so sweet though, I can’t imagine what book 6 has in store for us.

Just when you think Cam and Freyja, along with the other characters in T. S. Simons’s Antipodes Series, have had all they can take with their many, often perilous adventures, a new danger threatens all of the children. Sessrumnir definitely kicked my momma bear instincts into high gear. How far would you go to protect your own children? Connections must be strengthened and friendships must be tested in order for them to save their offspring. As with the other books in the series, T. S. Simons creates highly detailed settings so the reader feels like they are there with the characters. The characters continue to be lovable, realistic, and relatable. Especially the seemingly strong, tough, take-no-shit Freyja, who we find out is suffering from mental illness. This fifth book in the series definitely pulls at your heartstrings and keeps you on your toes from beginning to end.

This series has swallowed me whole and I cannot stop! Another beautiful read with such intense emotion that bleeds from the page. You can sense the urgency and need to protect the children. I absolutely love T.S Simons ability to pose deep questions to the reader in every book of her series! That paired with her talent to create such relatable characters like Freyja and Illyria, you can’t help but be completely drawn in and invested. This is the most thought provoking series I’ve read in a long time! I almost don’t want to read book 6 The 45th Parallel because I don’t want this series to end! This series is a must read!

Sessrumnir is the fifth book in the series. It’s worth reading. I love how the characters have grown and developed as the story progressed throughout the series. Everything in the book, dealing with loss, gaining new experiences, and how the characters interact together are very relatable. The plot flows well through the different events that are happening throughout the story.

Sessrumnir begins completely different from where Caim left off as it has been 7 years since then. It has been 20 years since they started living in the domes. Needless to say, a lot has changed. Freyja, Cam, and their friends and family must again set off on an adventure to save the human population. This book has the heart of the others with now much older characters. I still enjoyed this book, but I feel like it was slower paced than the rest of the series.

Again we got to a point where the characters were feeling safe and bam. This author really knows how to get the twists and turns into her stories. I love how the characters develope and mature and how the drama isn’t overwhelmed by romance. The balance really is just right. By now though I am really amazed I was drawn into a dypstopian world and I really cannot put this book down.

I really started to feel the loss along with the characters and really wanted to have a happy ever after but not knowing if it would be. I found that the author was able to redevelop the world and create an even more challenging one. I really couldnt put it down and needed to see how it all would end.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The residents of Lewis must do whatever they can to save the lives of their children after they receive some terrifying news. It is up to Illyria and Freyja to figure out who or what is threatening to destroy them and all they hold dear to them. Joining forces with both old and new friends they must eliminate the threat before it eliminates them. Will they be able to save the lives of their children in time?

This series has had me hooked from the first book and it just keeps getting better and better. Cam, Freyja, and the residents of Lewis have all become like family to me and I have become heavily invested in their lives. I have watched them grow older and wiser. I have been there with them and experienced the ups and downs with them. I have felt the sadness through the deaths of loved ones and the joy at the births and new beginnings. I have experienced a rollercoaster ride of emotions as the characters deal with some unimaginably difficult situations. Yet, throughout it all they overcome adversity, and fight through all of their difficulties becoming stronger for them. Through it all the importance of the love of family has been the focus and of never giving up hope through the darkest of times.

This book was beautifully written, as were all the books in the series. The characters were relatable and the issues they experienced were ones that I feel many of us can relate to. The author draws the reader into the story, and you can picture yourself there with them in that time and place. You feel each emotion as much as the characters do and root for them each step of the way. This is a series that will be worth reading time and time again. I cannot begin to say enough good things about this series! I highly recommend!

This was my first read of the series and by the author. I do think in order to be fully emerged into this world, you will need to have read books 1-4 to completely understand what’s going on. However, I did enjoy reading this book! The characters were relatable and realistic in the way they handled the situations thrown at them.

This book is the 5th book in a series and brings the series to conclusion. I enjoyed this book as I did the entire series. I highly recommend reading the other books in order first, before reading this one. There are a lot of characters and would be quite confusing if starting with this book. This book follows Freyja and is told from her point of view, rather than from Cam’s. She wrestles with herself a lot and is struggling with PTSD. She wrestles with not feeling like she’s enough and that resonated soundly with me. I really enjoyed the mystery and danger in this one. I could not figure out who was behind it. The book (and series) was well written and highly enjoyable! You won’t regret reading it!

Just brilliant!
I have put off reading this book due to it being the (possible) last book of the series. I have thoroughly enjoyed every book and this just made reading this one a little bit harder. The author has brought the whole series brilliantly together and the imagery draws the reader into a dystopian world that has so many parallels to our own. I loved seeing the characters grow and how the tribe came together to face adversity time and time again. This instalment has heightened emotions as it focuses on the children. I can not recommend this series enough. A keeper.

I just love this series and this book……..was soooooo fantastic. This is book 5 in the series and I highly recommend reading this series in order from the beginning to this final book. The author gave me so much in this story…..romance, danger, action and so much emotion….my heart!!

We fast forward a few years in this book just when you believe life is a bit peaceful, the children are being attacked…..Cam and Freyja must protect them and work together by doing so. Can Cam and Freyja find a way in order to save the children and loved ones?

This book is so packed with emotion……the author truly just had me right from the beginning up until the end. This book is truly a bittersweet end that was so well written.

This author did wonders with this story! I have enjoyed each book in this series.
Book 5 kicked my motherly instincts into overdrive, and I felt /related to that urgency and drive to protect your children and those you love. This new world was preceded by one where you literally had to pick and choose life or death and as book 5 ends the series you see all the strides made in love, friendship, maturity and so on. Great read.

The series comes to its conclusion in the final book. This Sci-fi series takes you on a journey you may not have expected. The characters are well written and the world building the author does is amazing. Many aspects of life is brought up throughout the series and book 5 is no exception. Love, marriage, children, and so much can affect your thinking, emotions and even our future. It was great to see the support that Freya and Cam had. I appreciated the author taking the time to share the struggles Freya, Cam and the children go through and help me connect with them. It’s a greet series that I can’t wait to recommend to friends.

Cam and Freya are back in and their children are quickly growing up and albeit they aren’t together, they are still trying to raise them right, despite the arguments and cold feelings between them, but just as Freya feels like she can finally move on, she is told to pack a bag quickly as she has to leave Lewis and her home she is currently sharing with Illyria. She is shocked and wants an explanation as to why, but she is told that she will be told soon, but for now they have to leave immediately, but when she sees that Cam and some of the children, as well as others from the island community are leaving too, she is even more confused and angry that she will be on a ship with Cam.

As soon as they leave Lewis in an emotional flurry, Freya is told that they will be making a stop on Moussa, a small island where the land is healthy so that they can top up on anything they can find which will be of use for a prolonged trip, but when she and Cam are abandoned and left to “Sort.It.Out” on the island by the others, she is more than just angry, she is infuriated and grabs what she needs for solitude, food and warmth, however, it isn’t enough to stave off the cold for long and so after a couple of days she goes on a long walk round the island to warm up. This is where she finds Cam lost in his memories of the last time they were on the island, but she doesn’t get away in time and the fall into another argument, but this time, it ends in more than just harsh words and her stomping off, it ends in understanding and renewal of the passion they both thought had disappeared.

As the days pass and Cam and Freya reunite and sort things out, they see the boat returning, this is where Freya finds out the real reason they had to leave in the middle of the night without saying goodbye, the children they have brought with them are in danger and until they know who is behind the threat, nowhere is safe, so they try and find somewhere they can regroup until the danger passes, but will anywhere be safe and to what lengths will the group go to, to protect their children? This is another epic dystopian which will carry you further on the wave this series has created and relationships and motives are questioned, love, loss and emotions are running both high and low as friends, partners, parents and communities are pushed to breaking point to protect those they love and you will join them all on this rollercoaster of a story until you all know how it ends.

Book 5 of the Antipodes series keeps the action and intrigue going. You will fall into this story and forget you are reading! If you like dystopian thrillers that make you think and fall in love with the characters, this whole series is wonderful. The character development is some of the best I have seen in a series as this author really has an intelligent, thorough storytelling style. I very much appreciate that the characters deal with anxiety because I feel it is something that needs to be talked about and normalized. The author could write 10 more books of this series, and I’d be perfectly fine with that.

I’ve really enjoyed the Antipodes series and the author has maintained the high standards of the entire series in this concluding finale. As with the other books, there’s plenty of sci-fi/dystopian, environmental and mythological themes, which I really enjoyed. But most of all, I was so keen to see where the characters would end up and the ending was satisfying. I’ve really enjoyed going on this journey with these characters and I will miss them.

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. Sessrúmnir is the fifth book in the Antipodes Series. Freyja is back and she’s moving on. You’ve got to read it to find out what happens.

Freyja is moving on with her life. She and Cam have grown apart and it’s obvious. She wants to get away and thinks she can keep her children safe. But can she? The quote I chose for Freyja is: “She is so naughty, but I can’t help but laugh at how creative she is! Between her and Caitlin, I am surprised poor Bridget hasn’t had a breakdown by now. Do you remember the time they painted Bridget’s chair with brown paint?”

Highly recommended for Dystopian Romance lovers.

Oh this series has been amazing! We are with Freyja and Cam and all of the others. You learn so much about Freyja and the children in this one. When tragedy strikes and decisions have to be made to protect the children that are unique. There are plot twist that will shock you and make you read late into the night! I will say I grew to really enjoy Freyja as a character and watching all of her growth through the whole series. I love the authors idea for this story and their writing style. You feel like someone is sharing a good story with you that you can’t wait to hear the ending but dread it at the same time! I definitely recommend reading the whole series so you can understand the storyline. Such a great ending to the Antipodes series!

Such an amazing end to this amazing series. Not only did Simons keep you engaged as each book passes through and “on the edge of your seat” of what will happen next but keep you guessing of what you would do in these many scenarios. Absolutely recommended to read all these previous books in the series before truly understanding and enjoying this one. It is well worth the experience learning and growing with all these characters that are constantly challenged with themes of strength, intelligence, endurance and the true meaning of love.
As each book progresses, discoveries and unexpected surprises come about and it is up to the inhabitants of the Lewis island to decide what would be the best solution. In such dire circumstances faced with your own family, how would you best protect your children/family? Simons brings these characters into another life endeavor that helps bring a culmination to this series. Highly recommended and such an enjoyable read.

The fifth and final installment of the Antipodes Series, Sessrumnir takes place many years after Caim. Freyja and Cam’s relationship has hit a snag. Emotions and mental illnesses ravage the couple and their loved ones. Relationship problems end up not being the only ones, when a new threat makes itself known. This time, however, the target is the children. What will become of this new threat? Will Cam and his loved ones be able to make it through yet again? Find out in the finale.
T.S. Simons has done it again. Just like in the previous books, Sessrumnir is filled with impeccable detail, relatable characters and emotions, and keeps you wanting more. I was not wanting the series to end, but I would not have changed Sessrumnir in any way. If you are looking for a post-apocalyptic dystopian romance, check out the Antipodes Series!

This is the fifth instalment in the Antipodes series, and the adventures set within a dystopian world continue. Having read and thoroughly enjoyed the previous books, I was looking forward to this novel, and I was not disappointed. Once again I was fully immersed in the storyline, and felt engaged with the characters, some of whom are like old friends now, and others who were newly introduced. The wonderfully detailed descriptive narrative brought the setting and the characters vividly to life, once more. I was hooked from start to finish, as the residents of Lewis, are forced to take drastic action in order to protect their children, having received some shocking news. Freyja and Illyria join together with some friends, with the hope of discovering who is behind this latest threat. The threat needs to be got rid off, before it takes all of their lives. Another gripping storyline with plenty of plot twists that kept me guessing, as love, loss, friendships and relationships are challenged. A real page turner!

This is the fifth and final book in the Antipodes Series and wow what a series it is. I definately recommend anyone reading the series from the beginning so that you get the full story and see the characters grown throughout the series. By doing this you get the full picture of the characters Journeys and all the struggles they have gone through to get to where they are today.

Life is finally starting to settle down for the people who were living in the sustainable community. But that sense of peace will be short lived. When the children start to get attacked by an unknown source our leading characters Cam and Freyja need to come back together to help protect their children. Who is willingly harming innocent children? Can Cam and Freyja work together to protect their children? How far are they prepared to go to do that? And who can they trust? As friends old and new come to help in them protect the children there is always the question of who can be trusted.

This story is amazing from start to finish and how the characters have grown and developed over this series has been amazing to see. I’m sad that this is the end as I feel like I’m losing friends however I will definately be picking these books back up and re reading them over again.
