Loved the development of the main character, Miranda. She really grew up a lot during that year.
The science wasn't very on point but that wasn't the reason I was reading the book so I don't mind. What really mattered was how the characters faced the increasing difficulties in their ways - and that was done superbly.

Spoiler
The characters have too little food to support a healthy diet: they starve themselves as a result. A background character starves herself because a priest orders her to, dies as a result. Religion is shown in a very negative light. The priest is a jerk that tells others to starve themselves, eats his fill himself. Religion seems more of a cult than anything else.
