Intriguing and somewhat disturbing dystopian novel about what would happen if tech destroyed nature the the extent that it become a killer. Also a good look on how small communities can become cults when separated from the rest of reality whether that be only giving one family "magical" gifts or a following a mad man. Koli can be a bit blockheaded sometimes but I think he will continue to grow as this series does. The book really could have done without the weird dialect but I do understand the artistic choice.

Can’t get past writers who don’t know how to form sentences properly, and use incorrect tenses. “When they was…”. DNF

The book is very slow and seems be be meant as world building for the next in the series. I hope those are more eventful.
