I have heard truly only incredible things about this, and after the emotional wreck that Blood Over Brighthaven turned me into I couldn't refuse this when I drew it from my TBR jar. Honestly, it was different than I expected. Much smaller in scope, focusing on a pretty small cast of characters not galavanting around trying to save the world, but just trying to survive it and make connections with each other. It was beautiful, and heartbreaking, and so hopeful in a world that seemed so hopeless. 

I think that the end left me a bit ... dissatisfied? It felt a little underwhelming, but I think that in general stories that heavily focus on motherhood and such don't hit quite hard enough for me (at least at this stage in my life). Still, a fucking excellent book and M L Wang is certainly an author I will buy anything from in the future and I am excited to see what she writes next!
