This book gave me such Hunger Games vibes! I was feeling the same type of excitement reading Fable for the End of the World. The biggest difference is that it’s more sci-fi and features a sapphic romance.

I think this book works as a standalone but I definitely would not have minded if it was drawn out a little more into a duology-- this dystopian world is really interesting!

I liked the dual first person POV -- I don't think the love story would work if it was only told from one perspective. But with that being said, I don't understand how Inesa and Melinoë fell in love with each other so quickly. The romance was a central part of the story but it was unbelievable. 
I loved this book for the dystopian adventure and commentary on climate change, not the romance.
