Oh gosh... I liked it enough to finish... But it's messy. Do I like it? Do I hate it? Would I recommend? I wouldn't say don't read it, but also if you can't get into it, it's okay to just put it down.

One of the few books/comic series I've actually gone back to re-read. I loved it the first time and got even more out of it the second time!

I immediately want to reread this book. Namagatsu skillfully creates a deep and complex near-world future with a virus leaking from an ancient burial beneath the melting Siberian ice. Each chapter brings you close to the grief and hope of characters dealing with the pandemic in the immediate aftermath and decades and generations after. A truly epic spec fic novel that points to the cosmos just as much to the human heart.
