I absolutely loved this. Probably my favorite sci-fi read of the year. I found myself taking notes on the book like three chapters in, which helped a lot.

Wayyy too expansive of a timeline and didn’t give itself enough time to resolve. Great concept and world building and abandons it all at the end for a neat resolution where the bad guy experiences consequences.

A future where climate change has already happened and the people left are hoping to go to space, live in a supersized bio dome, or live through the extreme climate left behind. The most inclusive cast of characters I may have ever read in a book. I enjoyed the whole story, even the ending. Hopeful rather than bleak!

3.75+. I am so certain if this book was twice as long, it would be five stars. It’s compulsively readable. There are so many interesting theories and concepts woven here, a critical exploration of feminism and its possible relationship to climate change. I also found myself quickly engaged with just about all the characters. However, this book speeds through plot and time a little haphazardly. We see 25+ years in such a short page count and the character exploration and growth suffers alongside the stifled plot. I will definitely read more from this author but I wish they (or their publisher) trusted them with a higher, more sweeping page count. It’s worth a read if the premise interests you, but I wouldn’t expect anything game changing.
