Soft worldbuilding has its pitfalls, and it's frequently hard to keep track of things like themes and stakes, which make following the story a little challenging. It's all vibes, but those vibes are pretty neat, with a semi-supernatural nature's revenge apocalypse that evokes nothing so much as Nausicaa, and strange, prickly, very fallible characters. Just. Don't think too hard. If anything, a nice change from all the mushroom horror that seems to be the style of these times. A pleasant mushroom who's a pretty good little guy is refreshing.

marinehaddock's review

Lu Feng said I will have no redeeming character traits, but I WILL do eugenics while attempting to gently hold An Zhe; a person who is completely uncomfortable with me.
I am a Josh apologist.  I don't feel he deserved any of the shit he got in this book.  He's 19 for fuck sake.
And this is one of those stories where literally everyone dies all the time except for the protagonists and I just don't jive with that.  I find it cheap.

This book was incredible. As someone who doesn’t typically enjoy scifi, this was very enjoyable. The characters are very interesting and the worldbuilding is immaculate. Honestly, the perseverance of humanity despite the calamity of the last 200 years in the story is very surprising. This definitely gets intense at times and I would say it’s not for the lighthearted - if you can’t handle characters death, and lots of it, I would steer clear. but if you push through and read it it’s such a rewarding story.
