No one does doom like Neal Shusterman (Thunderhead, 2018, etc.)-the breathtakingly jagged brink of apocalypse is only overshadowed by the sense that his dystopias lie just below the surface of readers' fragile reality, a few thoughtless actions away ... Mouths have never run so dry at the idea of thirst. * Kirkus Reviews *
... the palpable desperation that pervades the plot as it thunders toward the ending feels true, giving it a chilling air of inevitability. * Publishers Weekly, starred review *
"A pacy, gripping read which combines snarky teenage dialogue and concerns about friendship, family and the future with the heightened emotion of facing the apparent end of your world." * Press Association Syndicated Review *
"I thoroughly, thoroughly, thoroughly, enjoyed this book. It was captivating, it was honestly terrifying. [...] I loved this book so much, it was dark & shocking at times, it made me think deeply about our society's values and the current state of our world and I love that Neal is highlighting these issues in his books. He is slowly becoming one of my absolute favourite authors." * Bibliotales *
"This book was so thought-provoking, it made me think a lot about what we currently value and the things we take for granted." * Bibliotales *
