Mesmerizing build of atmosphere in the first part, at least, and I love the whole idea. Great build of atmosphere. Maybe something a bit off in the latter part, pacing or clarity or tone? I don't know quite what. It's somehow too specific and not specific enough? Maybe I wanted different parts of the story to be highlighted. It seems many readers were frustrated by the slower parts. I wanted more of those; more ambiguity with nonetheless more specificity.
Still lovely and worthwhile, I love this anti-capitalist embracing of wildness.
I don't entirely know how I felt about this one.. for starters I didn't realise the wastelands were meant to be unsettling rather than cool, so I ID'd company = bad, wastelands = good which I think removed too much of the jeopardy early on..?

An unusual story that will linger long after the train has departed. I found myself invested in everyone’s story and the mystery’s of the wastelands.

I think I struggled as I was so much more interested in the fantasy and world building elements of what was happening to the wastelands and why there were these changes that I wasn’t paying very much attention to the actual character motivations or stories, just waiting for them to finish so we could find out more about the train.
