First of all, Griz’s fresh and naive view of our current world was really interesting. As Griz discovers more of his world, we learn about the past and how humanity will be a full circle.
The plot gets better as you get closer towards the end of the story. The tension and intriguing of the story felt like slowly blowing up a ballon and waiting for it to pop. Primarily, we just get Griz exploring the world with Jip for most of the world. But I really liked the mini internal and external conflicts Griz had on this adventure. I was really rooting for the MC on those journeys.
I will say some things were predictable

I liked Griz and the dogs, I liked how things tied together and how there was some breaking of the fourth wall / commentary
The book is emotional and dark yet also hopeful and a refute of nihilistic views towards the end of the world.
Would oddly compare it a bit to Fredrick Backman books even though this has more danger & death. Both write about humanity, morality, purpose & meaning, love/family/relationships, bonds with animals, ethics, religion, imagination/stories.
