absinthe 's review for:

The Offset by Calder Szewczak
4.25
emotional reflective sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

An interesting story of the sacrifice of parenthood, set on a backdrop of impending climate collapse. 

It was interesting that all characters aside from Miri, Jac, and Alix were referred to only by monikers (their profession or ethnic background?), which really kept everyone aside from the family at arms length.
