My Kobo tells me I‘m 86% into this hauntingly realistic apocalyptic story. Finishing it this morning with help from Lizzie who has claimed the ottoman and my legs as her snuggle territory 😂
Tamra Such a good series! I‘m hoping there will be more. But I‘ll read whatever he writes. (edited) 1mo
DogMomIrene @Tamra Ohhh, good to know! I saw that there was a sequel but I didn‘t look at reviews. I can see how the slow burn of this would turn off some readers, but it‘s so freaking realistic! 1mo
Tamra @DogMomIrene yes both novels are slow and I agree it probably causes many readers to bail, unfortunately. I loved them because Rice takes the time to fully develop characters and the setting/atmosphere, as well as integrate their culture. I would have been put off by an apocalyptic action thriller. I especially liked how little is clear about the situation they are facing. Realistic is right! 1mo

Bookwormjillk Love this book. 1mo
DogMomIrene @Tamra I love apocalyptic/dysopian action and thriller stories, but I also love the stories that treat the end times realistically. Such a mood reader here. You‘re right about how well developed this story and characters are. And I‘m learning a lot about indigenous culture as I look up some info for more context. Have you read![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

tpixie My maltishu has just scooted herself from the ottoman to my lap. When she was younger, she preferred the ottoman and in bed behind my knees. Now that she‘s older, she wants to be up on my lap and up near my chest in bed. 🖤🤍🖤 1mo

DogMomIrene @tpixie Awww, Lizzie likes behind the knees too, and behind me on the sofa, like on the cushion behind me kinda wrapped around my neck. Dogs are funny companions😂 1mo
