Finished reading: Station 11 by Emily St. John Mandel 📚
Second time reading Station Eleven. Since my first read through the book (over ten years ago), I’ve watched the HBO miniseries adaptation, which I very much enjoyed. There was a space of about eight years between my first read and watching the show, so the book wasn’t particularly fresh in my mind when I watched, aside from some broad plot outlines, so I was curious to see how my impressions of the book would hold up, rereading it just a year or so after watching the show. The miniseries and book both have aspects that they do better than the other (Kirsten/Jeevan relationship, The Prophet arc, respectively, to name the two most glaring), but both are really beautiful works of art and worth spending time with.
