"The beautiful, wild, and sometimes heartbreaking post-apocalyptic story of falling in and out of love continues. To say this is one of the most inventive books on shelves would be a disservice. Balancing epic world-building, intimate character work, and wild adventures is no easy feat. Most stories would be lucky to do one of these things as well as OUATATEOTW does all three. One of my favorite books of last year will continue to be one of my favorite books of 2024 and if you missed it now is the time to catch up."
—Matthew Rosenberg
