Walk the Vanished Earth by Erin Swan

adventurous dark mysterious medium-paced

3.0

This book had a lot of promising elements. I love a multigenerational family saga, a cautionary tale, or when the setting is the dystopian future. I also don't mind when a story becomes unusual or things take a turn for the unexpected. 

Yet I could not bring myself to invest in the characters. A great many themes are explored, but don't feel compelling or fully developed. 

Ultimately, this is an example of a premise that's more interesting than its execution. There are other books with similar concepts of survival amidst a collapsing society that are more memorable.
