This was an expertly crafted novel based in a dystopian (but believable) future where climate change and technology have made society almost unrecognizable. The world-building is excellent, but on top of that, the author weaves multiple plot lines together in beautiful (and surprising at times!!) harmony. It was definitely a slow build, but once I was hooked into all of the storylines, I couldn’t put this down. There is so much more to this book than meets the eye, and I can’t do it justice in a summary.

I’m giving it 4/5 just because I didn’t have the emotional involvement needed for me to give it a 5. Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for the e-ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I really liked this tale. It took a little while to figure out the timelines and the worlds' status, but once I did, I was hooked. I appreciated the different points of view presented and how they came together by the end. One the other hand, I felt the men bad/women good theme was unnecessary and a little overstated. Overall, an interesting if not depressing look at a possible future scenario. Recommended.

I received a complimentary copy of the novel from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Camp Zero was a thought provoking and interesting read. It was so incredibly well written with dual points of view, flashbacks, and different timelines. Everything worked together to form this amazing story.

The craziest part is how realistic Camp Zero is. It shows us something that can potentially happen if we don’t work to reduce climate change.

The author writes in such a mysterious and brilliant way. The book automatically drew me in and made it hard to stop reading.

This is an easy five star read for me!

I didn't like the way this book started, so I put it down. Then I picked it back up again because the premise really did sound interesting to me and the second time I read it, I did enjoy it a bit more. I like the ideas of what the future may bring the the lesson the author is trying to teach about the world. Overall, it was an ok read for me.

I was really excited to read this and really looking forward to it based on the description. Unfortunately the book I read and the book described I found to be very different from one another. The description is misleading and doesn’t shed light on the strong adult themes present in this book. I think that’s important to point out for readers. Dystopian is one of my favorite genres but this just didn’t seem to flow for me. Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read an advanced copy.

Nicely plotted and crafted. I liked this overall. Good pacing and dialog. I'll look for future work by this author. Recommended.

Thanks very much for the free ARC for review!!

At once an adventurous thriller and a cautionary environmental tale, CAMP ZERO is the a novel that will intrigue readers of any and all tastes. I personally don't tend to lean dystopian, but I was intrigued by the description and felt compelled to pick it up. I'm glad I did, because I found a book that I feel confident many people in my life and many people who follow me on various book channels/review sites will find a new favorite in.

My personal taste gives this book 3 stars, but my radar is telling me that the general population will devour this story and it will quickly become a favorite. I'm feeling BOTM material? Too soon to say?

Welcome to Camp Zero! It's cold, lonely and dangerous but it's an ideal solution to the change in the world's climate.

It's the near future, and the world is quickly becoming uninhabitable for humans. Far, far North, the Americans have created a small camp to try and stake out a space for their citizens as the world continues to warm.

We meet several denizens at Camp Zero but learn most are there for reasons they are keeping secret. There is Rose, a consort sent to spy on the construction and supervisor and Graham, a college professor who has arrived at the camp and realized that there is no campus. Michelle Min Sterling has created a world with many layers and stories with many connecting parts. This novel is similar to great literature such as Station Eleven but a solid thrilling story on it's own. If you like dystopia, stories that fit together like nesting dolls, or just want to spend a few hours mesmerized by a new world, Camp Zero is for you!

I wanted to love this, so I'm rounding up, but it felt disconnected. Like the reader and the characters felt VERY far away from each other in a way that made caring a little bit difficult

I really enjoyed reading this story, it did what I was hoping for from the description. It had a unique concept and did such a great job in telling the story. I really enjoyed going on this journey and getting to know the people in this story. Michelle Min Sterling has a great writing style and I was what I was hoping for. I look forward to read more from Michelle Min Sterling.

“No cities. I’m done with urban architecture. This will be low-level, low-density housing, built in harmony with the natural surroundings. No structure will rise higher than two stories, and every home will have its own acre of land for hunting, fishing, gardening. We’ll reconnect with nature here, not cover it in concrete and call it our own.”

I wanted to like this and while the premise was great, I found the overall execution for the story to lack a bit of structure and character depth.

Wow, this was so, so cool. So grateful I got to read this arc and so glad I read it so early!

This book is comped to Naomi Alderman and Emily St John Mandel - big shoes to fill. I absolutely see both comparisons! We follow a FRIGHTENINGLY realistic new future, where climate change continues to ravage the world. There are floating cities reserved for the wealthy while the 'regular people' suffer constant disasters. The north is now the most desirable place to live, and we follow a few different things going on up there.

I don't want to say too much more because the magic of this book is letting it all unfold. The way each narrative connects and overlaps is VERY reminiscent of Station Eleven, and I was surprised by many twists. The writing style is incredibly evocative, particularly of the harsh, cold beauty of the north, and I particularly loved the White Alice chapters.

A wonderful read!!!!

Tight, well thought out narrative of a future that feels all too real. Told in multiple viewpoints, this novel explores a post-climate crisis world and the choices that make survival possible.

Thrilling at times and confusing at others. I did enjoy the story but the style of the author left a bit to be desired. This dystopian story was missing something but I just don’t know what.
