I don't tend to read apocalyptic books often, but when I do, I really know how to pick 'em! I absolutely loved this, it was clear to me from the beginning that I'd, at the very least, like it.
Billy Merasty's narration blew me away, his pronunciation and tone was just *chef's kiss*, one of the best audiobook casts I've ever seen. I'm glad he also narrates book two, I know it'll be a joy to listen to.
Everything worked for me here, the length, the story, the characters, the writing style, the Anishinaabe culture woven in, the pacing...yes, it's a slightly slower novel where not a lot of action happens, but everything else makes up for it.
I didn't even mind that we never learned what *actually* happened out there to make all the technology die, I'm just rolling with it, I don't have to know.
This was also the perfect wintery read, I highly recommend you read this as you watch the snow fall outside! Ours has unfortunately melted, but I'm hoping for some more next year.
Anyway, this book has been on my tbr since 2021, (I think it was a bit longer, but I only added it then) and I'm super glad I finally gave it a listen, I was seriously missing out! If you haven't read it yet, this is your sign, friends.
