It's actually taken me a few months to digest this in my feelings. This book made me sit with the climate crisis in a way that few other works have, in considering the implications from our grandparents' time to our childrens'. In that sense, the heartbreak is palpable. It forces you to realize: this is not an examination of if, not even when, but 'what:' these things are happening, and will escalate, and our children will live in that. How do *we* live with that?

And yet, despite it all-- the vivid imagery of the inferno we trigger every time we hit a switch, the pending disasters of ocean acidification-- I came away with a sense of hope that I can't quite pin down. Is it the hope of seeing clearly? Of the power of art and expression to help us make sense of a world? I'm not sure. But Magnason's has never let me down before and this is another masterpiece.
