As with the first book, I loved how the themes of the story continued to subvert the typical expectations of the apocalyptic genre and instead emphasized the importance of community, taking care of the environment, and the perseverance of humanity. Especially since it's a story centered on Indigenous peoples, who have already experienced their own apocalypse throughout history.
