I don’t like reading novellas that much because most of the time i find the idea of it being short limits the characterisations or the exploration of the lore in a book but this one proved me wrong. I still think it would be better as a whole novel but it is what it is and it’s fine!! I loved the friendship between characters and felt a bit gloomy at times. I’ve been wanting to read a post-climate change book (if that is even a term idk) for so long, and i think this was a good starting point.
