I was incredibly excited by the idea of ecological horror. The concept and the premise were absolutely exciting, and there are places throughout where the plot really hits that mark and sticks it to you, however much of the plot moves just a little too fast. There are number of stories told as a group of filmmakers aims to make a climate change documentary about the region. I wish that the individual stories told about the House of Drought, as the plot seemed to move once I became invested in a character. That said, the plot is pretty fast paced, and this made for an easy, thought-provoking afternoon read. 

Thank you to NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.
