Adult/minor relationship warning is partially for a couple who met when one was a minor. Ableism warning is for the trope of a disabled character dying as part of an abled character's story. Colonisation warning is just in case, for discussion of Israel in a normalized light.larbster90's review against another edition

This book made me feel a very specific way. It really worried me at first. There was anxiety sitting in my chest. Its virus’s total destruction scared me and reminded me of how I felt in 2020. I think that’s why I rushed to finish the second half. I wanted it to be over. But there were sparks of joy and moments of the beauty of humanity, of the hope of re-starting and of invention that lifted the tone for me. I think Miranda was my favorite character, but just like Sea of Tranquility, I do think this author trades character development for “aha!” moments at the reveals of the connections.
I cannot fathom the difference of reading this book before COVID and now. It’s still almost too much for me. Curious to see how the show will sit with me.
