And the Sky Bled by S. Hati

4.5
I don't quite know how I would describe this book, other than as an intense novel about an unexpectedly interconnected group of characters trying to survive a catastrophy that has been building for generations.
The reader is thrown in to the story and while there were some things that I wish were developed a bit more (some of the relationships for example), I can appreciate the way the story was told. Tension was carried consistently throughout and I was emotionally invested at the end.
We are left guessing much of the time as to the characters motives, but I appreciated the mystery and felt that the pace kept me reading once I got to the 30-40% mark.
Overall a good read and I look forward to more by S. Hati.
Thank you to Netgalley and Bindery books for the opportunity to read and review this book ahead of publication.
