Content warning Light spoilers in content/trigger warning at the end of the review.
This book is the Gospel and the Good News, disguised as a really well written speculative science fiction novella.
Truly, it's such an incredible book - the universe that the author builds is so interesting and the characters are so relatable.
Do yourself a favor and find a way to read this one.
Trigger warning for readers though - there are a few scenes depicting zombie-virus and some tense scenes that involve death/dying.
