This book follows Griz, who lives in a post-apocalyptic world and when a stranger comes and steals Griz’s dog, Griz will do anything to get her back. This is the start of a voyage going into the big, strange world.

I finally picked this up on audio, after getting a sampler on netgalley without realizing it was a sampler. I did really enjoy this one, I liked the writing and the main character Griz. I liked all the reflections upon our world, since Griz lives in a world where one can only see the aftermath of everything we built and had. I loved Griz’s love for dogs, and I was very intrigued to see where the journey would take us. The story is told of the POV of Griz, but like Griz is writing it down so there is a lot of foretelling of what will happen (since it has already happened for Griz). I don’t mind this way of writing a story like this, but all the foretelling got tiring after a while, because sometimes it ruined the surprises that were coming. However, the end really surprised me, and there were things there I felt I should have seen coming, but I was too distracted by everything else! I did enjoy the story, but it did also remind me of a lot of other post-apocalyptic story. Every story of course has something original, but it still felt like something I had seen or read before. 3.5/5 stars.
