A review by rvlgonzalez
Afterland by Lauren Beukes

This is probably my least favorite LB book I've read (after Broken Monsters and The Shining Girls), but I still thought there was a lot to like. LB writes side characters well and I sort of wish there were more. I liked the interlude shifting away from the main characters and providing more world building. It's not that I wanted to hear more of the characters intro-ed there, just more characters. I wasn't too interested in the more action-y parts, but thought the character aspects were v interesting.

Also, what a time to have just published a book about a devastating pandemic.

Edit because I forgot to mention a very important point: At one point, she makes a very casual "30-50 feral hogs" joke.
