After the Fall, Before the Fall, During the Fall by Nancy Kress

5.0

As a writer, I read this book fascinated by how easily Kress manages to build dread with just a few sentences, and with those sentences being nothing more than descriptions of everyday biological functions. That was masterful. I also appreciated the characters - didn't love any of them except, perhaps, MacAllister, but I didn't need to. They were meant to be humanity shown with all its faults and all its endearing...humanity. As a reader, I wanted them to survive because of that.

I appreciated the amount of information given along the way, the language, and the way the reader is trusted to put pieces together on their own. The ending wasn't what I wanted, but it was effective, nonetheless. A page-turner all the way.
