I had high hopes for this one but expectations fell short unfortunately. I was expecting much more cli-fi, but I wasn’t necessarily disappointed by what I did receive. The Tasmanian setting as per usual was atmospheric (even once the cli-fi/extreme weather elements took off) and I still love the simplicity and sheer beauty of the Australian edition cover art.

This is a book that sits heavily with ethics and morals in a truly relatable way. It made me assess if I were in a similar situation, what would I do, what decisions would I potentially make and what would my standpoint be from an ethical perspective. I found the characters to be slightly underdeveloped, especially those of Kate, Jay and Davis (perhaps slightly one dimensional and predictable) but Eve seemed to be much more well-rounded especially as her story developed.

Hearing Bradley speak at #adlWW about this book really gave me a different appreciation for it that I hadn’t considered whilst I was reading it and I definitely look forward to exploring his back catalogue.
