This is so good. It only left me wanting more. As I've now read 'How We End' twice (once digitally and once through audiobook), there's not much left for me to do but wait for the next book.

This novella made me emotional. I wasn't expecting that because of its size, but it did. 
L.M. Juniper is an incredibly talented storyteller. From the first page, I was immediately sucked into the story. We get a different perspective from How We End, and my stomach dropped when we saw just how bad things have gotten in London. 
It made me realise how relatively lucky Jake, Liv, and the rest of their found family have been up until now. 
The stuff that's been discovered in this novella and some discoveries that have been made near the finale of How We End have some major implications for the future of the world and I'm really excited to see where we go from here!
