challenging emotional reflective sad medium-paced

This is a rough climate fiction read. Things are bleak. Yes, there is a note of optimism, but things are bleak. (Like our planet)

I didn't like the writing style; it all seems as if told from a distance, the conversations not actually heard.

An absolutely incredible book, the only reason it doesn't have a full 5 stars is I'm really attached to hopeful climate narratives that don't highlight things we need to do less of. Unfortunately it does still fall into that narrative, but despite that it is an incredible story
