“God puts Earth far away from heaven because even He can’t stand the smell of dead flesh. Death is not a soul catcher or a spirit, it’s a wind with no warmth, a crawling sickness.”

Some brutal evocative passages of characters reckoning with their imminent deaths, heightened by listening to the audio narration at the same time. Looking forward to seeing how this book deals with the time jump forward.

Really enjoying this book so far having got though the first chapter. I’ve found reading alongside listening to the audiobook an incredible way of navigating the different voices this book offers, as at first I was a bit disoriented by so many points of view.

I’m also loving the richness of musical references in this book and just how much I can gather incidentally about the political climate
