I read Kindred before and I am glad that the second book I read by her was also really good. Instead of slavery this one tackles consequences of climate change, drugs, politics. It's a survival book, the author's mother was a green thumb, the author researched religions, guns to write it.

It feels so real and there's barely anything magical in it, the “magic” here would be diseases anyway.

The world is brutal. The religion which is supposed to bring relief to people is realistic and practical, it's more like community guidelines.

Loved it, there's nothing to complain about.
