Walk the Vanished Earth by Erin Swan

5.0

Definitely one of my new favorite books. This story jumps back and forth over 300 years starting in the 1873 in America and ending in 2073 on the surface of Mars. The story is about a family and the gradual devastation of the planet due to climate change. The characters were wonderfully built and I felt very vested in their stories. The world building definitely struck close to home (I'm from Louisiana) with part of the story taking place in the "floating city" that was built in New Orleans after catastrophic flooding destroys the city.
Overall an intriguing yet dark look at our world and how it may survive the future if theories of climate change come to pass.
