Thank you Netgalley for letting me get my insta-fix ahead of publication. This completes a duology alongside "Yours for the Taking," which I also devoured this month (to the best of my knowledge, it felt complete but I'd totally read more). I thought the characters and world were engaging and believable, and I appreciated how this volume wove through the story of the first book while giving us a satisfying ending.

I've read a number of climate catastrophe books this year, but I feel this was the most human, and the most hopeful ... or hopefulish ... it's still a catastrophe after all.
