3.5

There were a lot of things I really liked about this book. The sci part of this sci-fi was really fun for me, even with no background in geology! I love the storytelling method of using different perspectives and jumping around in time, and it's extra cool when they're time travelling as well. I appreciated that the cast of characters were racially and gender diverse (there are a couple trans characters, including one nonbinary person).
There is a really strong overtone of "violence is never the answer" for a lot of the book that almost made me put it down, but the rest of the story made me glad I didn't!
I still enjoyed the story, which has major themes of reproductive justice and the importance of collective action. I would recommend it to some people!
