The suspense was too much and I had to roll right into book three😂 It‘s strange to say an apocalyptic tale is heartwarming, but Lemire manages it. At times frightening, horrific, sad, but also joyful, hopeful, and peaceful this book really packs a hard punch. I‘m not sure if it‘s meant to be a cautionary tale or just a dark prediction, but it works either way. I‘ll be thinking about this one for a while.
