La part apocalíptica trobo que està força ben desenvolupada, sobretot tenint en compte que es va escriure abans de la pandèmia. Les diferents actituds d'enfrontament a la situació dels personatges m'han semblat molt creïbles, i la velocitat en que tot se'n pot anar en orris també.
La part post-apocalíptica m'hauria d'haver agradat més. Trobo que el missatge hopepunk, més evident sobretot al final, no casa amb certes trames a les que inicialment s'hi dona molta importància.
Però el conjunt, no m'ha funcionat. No he entès massa perquè l'autora decideix centrar-se en certs personatges i certes històries, i els salts entre les diferents línies temporals i protagonistes també semblen bastant aleatoris i despenjats del que està passant al nivell principal.
Una llàstima, té molt potencial.

Emily St. John Mandel knocks this book out of the park. The intricate way she weaves things back and forth throughout this book and then has it end where every single little thing is neatly wrapped up is phenomenal.
I think this book may have changed how I read and write. Her story telling is excellent, her prose is lyrical and often humerous in the realness of it all.
If you're coming from the Mini Series, please put everything you know about the series out of your head.
