5.0

 This is a great addition to the soft-apocalypse sub-genre. The perfect blend of magical realism and the slow effect of climate change on the environment and society. Kai is running away, throwing himself into the care of stray dragons even to the detriment of his own health and well-being. Eli is searching, though he’s not quite sure what for. When their lives cross paths, they are forced to confront the buried parts of themselves, and in the process find comfort even in a dying world.
