kailawalton's review against another edition

challenging dark informative medium-paced

5.0

While this is not a fun or easy book to read, it is important. The effects of climate change are happening in real time and this is one of the many effects of it. Wildfires. Which are only getting bigger, hotter and scarier. This should be recommended reading for everyone, but especially my fellow Canadians. This was excellently paced, well researched, and easy to understand even with science-y terms.
