I found the premise very exciting and the execution not fitting with it. I didn't get a sense of Julia as a person enough to get immersed in the nostalgia of the narrative, which mainly ignores explanations, politics, basically anything outside of her bubble. She's recalling from so far in the futur...

When I started this I thought I was going to get some kind of Apocalyptic End of the World type story but I can't really say that's how it turned out. It's more a coming of age type story with a bit of monumental planetary change in the background.It's a very good story and it's very well written, t...

Cross-posted on Soapboxing.netI feel slightly apologetic about how much I loved reading The Age of Miracles, because it would be easy to sit down and enumerate all the things that are going to bother other people. In fact, I'm going to go ahead and do that right now. But I still adored this, despite...
