I’ve seen some people complain about it being too technical, but I think it’s actually the best part of the book – the volcano info sets the stage, weaves into the characters and the identity of Iceland, is overall actually super fascinating, and makes a dauntingly-technical subject quite approachable for the average person, so they can understand the majesty of earth in an engaging fictional setting.

Juan Carlos Suárez-Quiñones told Cadena Ser radio that while both the landscape and farming practices had changed, “certain new environmental fashions when it comes to clearing riverbanks and other things make it harder to clear the mountains”.

I could not connect with her at all, at any point in this story. Anna was selfish and self-righteous, to the point of making me very frustrated and angry with her. Normally, I like it when a character challenges me, but not in this case. I am marking the rest of this as a spoiler, so proceed with caution... it also might be a little disjointed, because I'm still trying to organize my thoughts. Volcanologist Anna Arnardóttir has spent her entire life studying the volcanic powers under the earth’s crust, but even she cannot fathom the catastrophe at hand. I had an ominous feeling that I'd made a bad choice when the book started by front-loading the cast of characters. I've personally never experienced a successful novel that started out that way.

My rating is a compromise as the book did deliver a very dramatic, and yes, a "heart-wrenching" conclusion.
