I know I’ve read a good book when I sit while the tears dry on my face unable to do anything but process what I just read. Wow...and I think it makes it better and yet more horrific how much I can see our current disasters lead us to a place at least similar to this imagined future. In this world 2025 leads to an almost life ending dual set of apocalypses. Humans attempted to mutant the fly with a disease to create a weapon and instead created something uncontrollable that would consume next to all life. In this story pockets of the survivors intertwine more than they even realize. Nico has spent her whole life in a farmhouse with her parents, but her father sends her on a mission she’s heard about her whole life hidden in a story. Kit is an artist determined to finish a perfect painting no matter what it takes. The deliverer brings supplies and helps shape various groups and lives. Time and space feel a little wonky in this story and I feel already like it is a story that will need to be repeated to find the pieces missed the first time around.
