## Caption

i’m 02/02 on terrible photoshops for erik’s books. erik, i’m so sorry.

i refreshed edelweiss nearly daily to get this arc when it dropped, and when i tell you i read it in about six hours, i am not exaggerating.

the hits for jamie and andrew start coming right out of the gate and literally do not stop coming. filled with the same intensity and heart-pounding action (remember the lions? it gets WORSE somehow) as All That’s Left in the World, The Only Light Left Burning looks deeper at the relationships needed to survive the end of the world.

i loved that even though they were “safe” and experiencing a complete civilizational collapse, jamie and andrew still had their normal teenage relationship issues: not talking about emotions, being unsure about how to progress their physical relationship, and raising several orphaned kiddos in the camp. you know, normal teenage things.

seriously, TOLLB is another wonderful look at how we depend on one another, how learning to let someone in and love them even though the risk of hurting or losing them has the potential to be devastating, and how important a community can be. 

with faces new and old coming in, it was so nice (and sometimes not too nice) to grow attached to them and see their journeys play out. i only cried TWICE this go-round, but it was more than enough.

it’s a heart-pounding, gut-wrenching, keep-you-guessing tale that perfectly wraps up jamie and andrew’s story. 10/10.

out 05/28!
