Glad that i read this book now - it is very timely. As an atheist, i found the earthseed storyline difficult to engage with (thats the reason for the rating) but appreciated the storytelling. I did find all the characters besides Lauren to be one-dimensional, but appreciated the various roles they played in the story. All around a solid read.
