I didn’t like the way it ended (though it was appropriate for the genre). I would’ve liked to hear more about Ennis and the other friends she made on the fishing boat.

Migrations is an intimate, unraveling story about self-destruction, from the ways we sabotage ourselves and our relationships to the ways we wreak havoc on nature. Although I struggled to suspend my disbelief in the dying, near-future setting and in some of the character interactions, the prose was absolutely gorgeous and the mystery surrounding Franny Stone's enigmatic past unfurled artfully.

Franny was a very frustrating character to me, but written beautifully and in a way that I couldn't really help but liking her by the end of it. Supporting cast was charming and carried the message beautifully. A quick read with some really wonderful quotes, if this is already on your to read list it's worth the time

Viimeinen muuttolintu on surullinen kirja seikkailusta, menetyksestä, ekokatastrofista, rakkaudesta, ystävyydestä ja tietenkin lapintiiroista. Kirjassa on niin sanottu "found family" -piirre, jota rakastan kirjoissa. Tarina sijoittuu lähitulevaisuuteen ja on toiveikas dystopia. Viimeinen muuttolintu on monisyinen kertomus ja ruumiinavaus siihen, mitä on elää ja rakastaa.

Ainoa syy, joka jättää kirjan viiden tähden alapuolelle, on lopun kiirehdintä ja muutama epäjohdonmukaisuus.

It’s dark, but beautiful. It’s a lingering meditation on grief, trauma and love. I didn’t really enjoy reading it, and I’d never reread it, and there is only a very few people I’d recommend it too, but I did find it lovely.
