A solid and quiet apocalyptic story, I loved the subtle twists on the genre and how thoroughly the author set the mood and atmosphere. I just read Station Eleven and I’d say this felt kind of similar in that it is less about an apocalypse and more about how humans handle change and conflict. I particularly loved the point this book made about how, for First Nations and Anishinaabe, this was just another apocalypse among constant apocalypses, genocide and dispossession and theft woven into the fabric of their history. It made for interesting perspective on survival, especially in conversation with that history. I do wish there was a bit more character development and this book felt a little short, but I feel excited to get to the next installment!
