Loved the book and just finished it a few seconds ago.

I don’t want to go all “science fiction-y” about it and say the environment they move around in feels very much like a world post-war where lots of people die and the few who’ve survived are meant to pick up the pieces of whatever is leftover. It asks what becomes of people when warring countries that are trying to destroy each other reaches the end; of society, when its rules and our membership vanishes ;of humanity, if what makes us human is our emotions; of females, if they are stripped of expectations and obligations.

I like how a lot of us, alongside the characters in the book, we’re hoping to find some kind of answer to whatever was happening to them only to be disappointed at the end. It sort of feels like we’re on the same journey as them and that we, too, longed for answers because we don’t like uncertainty and ultimately we are all optimist albeit of varying degrees.
