This sci-fi novel, though a bit lengthy, was quite engaging. I enjoyed the characters and the memories from the previous host. Discovering that the protagonist wasn't alone and seeing her muster the courage to persevere was truly inspiring. The vivid descriptions of food scarcity were particularly unsettling (perhaps a reminder for me to eat lunch), but they realistically depicted a post-apocalyptic world. Overall, it was a decent read and has the potential to be a strong contender.
