3.5

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

 - LAND OF MILK AND HONEY is the kind of dystopian novel I wish we had more of. It’s futuristic but grounded, bringing in real world elements without hitting you over the head with the lessons.
- Overall though, this was a little too “no plot just vibes” for me personally. I quite enjoyed the overwrought food descriptions, but inbetween those, not a whole lot was actually happening. I don’t say that to steer you away from it, because it’s a beautiful book. It’s just a personal taste thing.
- I know that despite what I just said, I’ll be thinking about this one for a long time to come, and wouldn’t be at all surprised to find it was prophetic.
