3.0

I'm rounding up to 3 stars just because there is some decent emotional expression in the writing. This is a story about a time when the weather has become so severe -- and possibly sentient -- that society struggles to survive it. Some people, "weathermen", develop the ability to fight against the weather and ultimately because elements of the weather themselves. Think of the folks who are able to control orogenesis when Earth has waged its war against the humans in Jemisin's Broken Earth trilogy but take away the allegorical depth and you'll be pretty close. It's told in the second person by the younger sibling of a child who becomes a weatherman. Honestly, I thought the whole thing was a bit hokey, but it wasn't without charm.
