I was totally gripped by this, which I wasn’t expecting. I wanted more after it ended. It was tense pretty much the whole time, because I was full of emotions about the climate crisis. But it was also full of magic in some way, by making the future the author imagines (which so many people are afraid to imagine, good or bad) feel possible and vividly real. Which any good sci-fi book does, but I don’t often get that from thinking about climate change. This book is full of infinite hope for human nature, and I have very complicated feelings about that. 
One thing I was really irked by was the ED representation. It felt like a bit of a plot device or character quirk, and I don’t think it was handled with the gravity it deserved? But I’m not sure
