The parallels this book has to some of the things happening now is chilling! I loved the way the story was told through journal entries from different characters and commentary from Asha. So cool that we slowly got to know her more and her opinion of Lauren. The things done to the people in Acorn were heartbreaking. It was cool to see the journey Lauren went on after and what she did with Earthseed. I’m so glad I read this!!
