A beautiful writing style. a riveting and gripping concept. challenging and reflecting to read.
almost stopped reading because it got a bit too dark for myself, but i’m so glad i continued.

This is beautiful, and haunting, and fixes every issue I've ever had with end of the world dystopian narratives. There's no satisfying end, none of the questions are answered, and there's no bright moment of hope that fixes everything or offers anyone–characters or readers– a conclusion. It just ends as quietly as it begins.
If you want a dystopian story that's beautifully written without being pretentious, and isn't full of overt violence, then you have to pick this up.
