I just finished “Station Eleven” by Emily St. John Mandel, and I’ve got to say, it’s a solid 5/5 from me, and that’s a big deal considering I’m not usually into dystopian stuff.
The writing is just next level. It’s so beautifully crafted that it’s hard to put down. Mandel’s narrative style, jumping back and forth in time, might seem confusing, but it’s like a jigsaw puzzle that slowly comes together. You start noticing these tiny threads and easter eggs, and it’s mind-blowing how it all connects. It’s not just the story itself, but how she weaves it all together. It’s a masterpiece.
I’m officially a fan and can’t wait to read more by Mandel.
