The climate is intrinsic to life on Earth. What happens when it changes? These books examine our reality and imagined futures, both dystopian and utopian, to offer us words of warning, but also hope.

Oh my god I just remembered now, on my reread, that Traum means dream in German. This woman is so bad with names that it's genuinely kind of endearing to me 😂

Meh okay, I have kind of conflicted feelings for this one because it started really well! I actually really liked the first part! And then it all went to shit in the second half.
The main issue with this book is how immensely repetitive it is, bad stuff happened, it got magically fixed. Over and over and over and over since the very first chapter. Acceptable at first but at some point you really need to move on and do anything different.
The second issue was that for being a "feminist retelling", the only memorable character was Odysseus. Probably more because it's such an iconic character that only Nolan could manage to ruin him than for the talent of the writer, because everyone else is immensely flat.
The only way I'll remember this book is as a warning to stay clear of more ""feminist and/or queer"" retelling, if they're like this they're really as bad as I feared
