This one is tough to review for me.

I can't fault this book. Everything was well thought-through and the writing is faultless. There was an air of doom in the narration and it works well.
For some reason though, it just didn't click with me. As interesting as the story was, I didn't feel attached to anyone. I am very much a character-before-plot person so the fact that I didn't connect to anyone made it hard to care so much about what was happening. There could have easily been many heartwrenching moments and a focus on the found family elements (which is always my fave) but i didn't feel it.

Maybe I wasn't in the right state of mind when I read it; maybe the way it was told just wasn't for me; but since it has received a lot of praise, including by people I trust, I'd still recommend giving it a try if you're interested in eerie novels depicting the end of civilisation through multiple timelines.
