Very atmospheric writing. Characters dealing with “dominos falling one by one” type plot. 

Wonderful storytelling. I would recommend the audiobook so you can hear the spoken native language in some dialogue scenes.

I devoured this book in an afternoon and am so glad i came across it. Rice's prose was beautiful and evocative, creating a community of characters that felt truly real and lived in. I loved that the nature of the disaster/crisis is believable and explained enough to make the novel work, but is not the focus of the story itself. I'll definitely be re reading again!

Really good, didn't want to put it down. Very thrilling and fast paced. Sometimes confusing and sometimes over-narrated in the beginning. Even the epilogue has a twist. Great winter book

Not a lot of books can instill anxiety in me but this one certainly did. Tensions rose slowly but hinted at future events enough to make me have to put the book down and step away sometimes. Still, with all that, the ending was a bit too quick. I would have liked a few more pages to really linger with the characters and the aftermath. I'd still recommend it to everyone I know, though.
