A beautiful meditation on the universe, our earth, what is beyond, life, loss and love. As in The Light Pirate, Brooks Dalton works wonders with description of such surreal landscapes, the images in my mind are so vivid. I finished the book wanting it to continue, wanting to know what happens next…

bookish_predator's review against another edition

4.0

This is a beautifully written book, the descriptions of the Arctic and life on the Aether are wonderfully done as are the relationships and interactions between the crew and Augie and Iris.

I still want to know what happened in the world, why there was no contact and why no-one seems to be alive but that is part of the unease of the book, it could've been anything.

To be in the silence of space or the frozen beauty of the Arctic without being able to find out what's happening with the rest of the people on earth must be terrifying, knowing your family is, most likely, gone.

Although I found this slow in parts and the ending was quite abrupt I did really enjoy it.

*Huge thanks to Lily Brooks-Dalton, Orion Publishing Group and NetGalley for this copy in exchange for an honest review*
