Audio, very well narrated by Jorjeana Marie (main narrator) and MacLeod Andrews (for Ray and Levi.) Compelling and sometimes brutal. Often beautiful, lyrical language. Ray and Luz are a little unit of two, until they rescue toddler Ig and become a family for a time in a water-starved near-future California. This took a while to work through, and had fittingly also been on my TBR for some time.
