Earthships, book 2 by Bonnie Jane Hall presents a harrowing vision of the future, marked by a surge in climate migrants, rampant extreme weather, dwindling food and energy supplies, and widespread disease outbreaks. As an emerging environmental advocate, I found it compelling to immerse myself in a narrative where the protagonist, Laurel, is dedicated to constructing sustainable, subterranean "earthships." These structures offer a haven from erratic climatic conditions and boast minimal environmental impact. Laurel's comprehensive explanations of the mechanics behind these innovative solutions to climate change were particularly captivating elements of the story.

This book was an amazing ride for me. I was so captivated and surprised at how the author could imagine a story like this and put it into words. My experience reading this book made so many thoughts run through my mind, like how the future will be, whether humanity is safe, etc. Earthships, book 2 is about Laurie, her husband Sage, who used to be in the military, and their family, who are good at surviving. They live in a future world in 2036 where cars drive themselves, it's illegal to farm animals or hunt, lots of people are vegetarians, there's more crime and wars, the Arctic flu is making people sick, and some survivalists live in safe underground homes called Earthships. Laurie and her family are doing okay, but they have enemies from before who could cause trouble. The story asks if they can keep safe from hunters, wild animals, and other dangers. You can find out what happens by buying the book.

What I love about the book, surprisingly, is the last chapter. I love how the author could craft out a scene, making the audience anticipate another book of the same kind by the author. I also love the ability of Laurie to be able to dream and to be sensitive to her surroundings. The creative skill of Laurie is quite commendable; this is an ability I would love to have for myself—being able to make things. The book was well edited and free from grammatical errors.

I didn't dislike anything about this book; the narrative intricately portrays the existence of Laurel and her offspring, embroiled in a fierce dispute over territory, resources, and the struggle for dominance. The portrayal is strikingly authentic. The individuals depicted demonstrate a steadfast dedication to fostering an environment of affection and care and upholding commendable ethical principles for everyone.

I would rate this book a 5-star rating and recommend it to anyone who loves reading.
