There are some really compelling parts of this book and is a really accessible book of climate change journalism. The book weaves together dozens of natural diasters in short vignettes that sometimes feel a little all over the place but help to carry the book forward and keep the reader engaged. These stories cover many small towns in america and the writer paints the people there in a sympathetic light that is inspiring and heartbreaking. But some things fall flat and the overall narrative feels a little disjointed to me so 3/5!

Nuts & Bolts Foraging Troupe reviewed Wild Spaces by S. L. Coney
Solid Short Read
4 stars
At 117 pages and with simple language, this book is a really quick read. It has themes of trauma, family, ecology, and of course cosmic horror. I've been drawn to this genre after reading Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer and this one hits a similar mark for me. I think some of the cosmic horror elements could be worked a little more throughout, but overall a good fun story.
