I really loved this author's previous book, Station Eleven, so I had pretty high expectations of this. And it's good, I just didn't love it.
I really enjoy her writing style though, similar to Station Eleven, we study in and out of several different character POVs without any regard for a chronological order. The prose to me is very soothing and understated for some reason, even when bad things are happening. I just like reading it.
However the story and characters here are just fine. There is a decent sense of time and place, but I was never super attached to anyone or waiting to see any particular plot points develop.
Still I did like this and I'll certainly read more by Emily St. John Mandel in the future.
