   This is the book my friend insisted on recommending to me. I remember it was October 2024. I initially thought, "It's just a post-apocalyptic novel, how good can it be?" But after reading the first three chapters, I was stunned. This author is a genius! Their imagination is like a wormhole. I didn't sleep a wink that night, reading through the night. I haven't slept since then; the aftereffects are incredible. It's amazing, I love reading it, I'm constantly staying up all night, savoring every word and every punctuation mark.
