Particularly delightful is the structure of the book, juxtaposing chapters written by each author. In an uncanny way it's like watching two movies on a split-screen television, with plenty of overlap linking the two narratives. The reader can track events happening simultaneously in Precipice Valley and downtown Kleena Kleene from the first lightening strikes of July 7th to the mop up stages in late September. It keeps the reader engaged -- though sometimes gasping for air. -Sage Birchwater, The Ormsby Review, October 1, 2019 --Sage Birchwater The Ormsby Review
