This book and the first one are a reading highlight of the year. Glad I listened to the audiobook to hear the Anishnaabe language and names spoken.

“You have my whole heart. You always did.”

A terrifying journey through an earth that promises a world of ash, fire and danger, but in which the father and his son, "each the other's world entire," are sustained by love. To me, a classic

This might be my favourite volume of the series so far. It's the story about the fish and the robot creature that takes care of it. A lot of depth is revealed here. The philosophical ideas that flew into this chapter, deeply moved also touched me.

I loved the first book of this series and this was also excellent. You should definitely read Moon of the Crusted Snow first. Both take place in Canada in a post apocalyptic world. It is more of a thriller than anything else and has a wonderful cast of characters. 4.5⭐️

Tamra I wonder if he‘ll write a third? 2mo
Julsmarshall @Tamra I hope so! 2mo

The end of this book absolutely gutted me! I loved the first book, and this is almost as good. The first 100 pages are slow, but the last 200 are not. I hope he writes a third! (2)
⭐️: 4/5

Amazing! This follow up to the thoughtful dystopian novel Moon of the Crusted Snow was fantastic, beautiful writing, tight pacing, and the setting in an indigenous community after the fall of the world is brilliant and compelling. If you haven‘t checked out these short (under 200 pages!) novels from Waubgeshig Rice, you are truly missing out. #BookspinBingo

Tamra I agree, great writing! 2mo

I've read a lot of post-apocalyptic fiction and climate change dystopias. This book might be the bleakest thing since The Road, yet somehow even worse because more grounded in our current reality. I have an 18-year-old daughter, and seeing Sen go through such an excruciating ordeal as humanity dies around her was nearly unbearable. An AI subroutine charged with recording Sen's life is changed by the experience, but that's hardly consolation enough

Decalino I'm making it a pick because it was very well done, but I would strongly advise against reading it if you are already on the brink of despair. TW: suicide 2mo

The Final Day: A Novel | William R. Forstchen

A great third installment in the After Series featuring a community in the NC mountains that struggles to survive and thrive after an EMP attack back in the first book. A new US government has formed, but the characters from this series doubt its intentions and the Constitutionality of its actions. I gasped out loud several times in the second half. Gripping and thought-provoking, with crazy revelations. These characters have been thru so much.

My #12Booksof2024 pick for August is another one that I'd been meaning to read forever and finally got around to thanks to the #ClassicLSFBC group. I wish I'd read it way back when, but am glad to have read it now.
