Unfortunately, this was sold to me as a "hopeful, sci-fi" which it 100% is NOT. Beautiful language and some very moving sections, but it's a depressing and sad dystopia. Multiple characters didn't click for me, and the plot seemed to peter out rather than end.

Absolute dystopian perfection. Exactly what I want in a, "weird natural event that changes the world" type book. Just brilliant.
