Clouds Without Water is not a book I would typically gravitate towards or seek out, however I am glad I happened across it. It was definitely an interesting commentary on mass hysteria and the consequences of blind faith (religious or otherwise) on a community. Given the current "post"-pandemic era we're in, a lot of the plot felt very relevant and relatable.

I wish the characters were a bit more substantial and held a bit more weight in the context of the story, they were interesting and I just found myself wanting to know more about them and their beliefs/values. There was a chapter in part two that just felt like a short story summary of the whole book which made everything before it feel a bit redundant, almost as if the book should have started there.

Often I find myself stuck in a rut with genre's and this was definitely a good circuit breaker. The writing was pretty immersive and I found it overall an easy, enjoyable and interesting read. I also found the entire story to be a good opportunity to reflect on the last few years and the affect mis-information and baseless claims combined with public fear, have had on our communities.

I spent the entire day listening to this because I just couldn't stop! the narrator is engaging and interesting and the actual plot is SO GOOD. this is the first time I've read a book with such a unique plot and I really really enjoyed it
