Fox and Rabbit are sisters that have lost everything but each other. When Fox gets separated from Rabbit, she finds out that she will do whatever it takes to get her back.
I loved this book and can’t wait for the next one.

I couldn't seem to figure out how to make the lettering larger on the format of this book so I tried zooming in and lost each end of the book. I really enjoyed the first 50 pages but because I was having a tough time with the format of the book, I've decided to wait until it comes out to read. I am very excited to finish reading this book. I found the opening plot very interesting and am super bummed that I had such a hard time with the format. I am rating this book 4 stars because what I read was great.

This book could not be coming at a better time. I believe this story will resonate well with an audience craving climate-themed dystopian fiction. What makes CoC unique is the hope it weaves instead of total despair which is a common trap of the genre. Fox is a disabled protagonist who is brave, strong, and funny. The element of found family among her friends is touching and at times brought me to tears. There are moments of genuine terror in the world building of this book such as the Decon units, the factories, and the Harvest House— all written with great purpose. Though highly imaginative, the fear evolved feels real and resonant in today’s world. This book is an excellent way for teens and young adults to engage with the real-life threats of climate and America’s ruthless healthcare system in a vivid format. I would recommend it to everyone.

DNF-ing after the first chapter: the premise seems very interesting but the writing was a little... juvenile for my tastes and I felt like it could've used more finesse. Giving a higher rating because I don't want to drag the average down on a book I haven't actually completed.

Always excited to read another Peachtree Teen book!!

I love when plots are centered around family dynamics, especially siblings in YA, and I loved how central the sisters were to this book. While there are other complicated family relationships at play (like Fox with her aunt, or her cousin Eamon with his mom) the heart of the book is definitely Fox and her sister Rabbit, who Fox will stop at nothing to get back from the grasp of the powers that be in Dome One. While we don't see much of the sisters together (on account of the whole getting taken thing), Rabbit is always on her sister's mind, and is haunting the narrative in a broader sense than that as she's used for her unique genetic makeup. No spoilers, but it was really interesting to see the more typical 'main character' archetype be a secondary character and the story actually be from her sister's POV.

Overall an interesting, twisty dystopia with family (and found family) at its center! Both climate and healthcare inequality are big topics in the present, and Climate of Chaos draws them out into a darker potential future that still hinges on the reminder that there will still always be good people trying to do good things, even in impossible circumstances.

As an avid lover of all things dystopian and a chronically ill individual who relies on our healthcare system to live a semi-functioning life, Climate of Chaos is just what I needed to read and more. This book tackles many heavy topics at the forefront of our lives, including climate change and corrupt health insurance companies, and propels them to the surface in a post-apocalyptic setting where only the rich reap the benefits of a life well lived.

The book follows disabled protagonist Fox who must infiltrate Aegis, the city's dystopic and ruthless healthcare system, in order to save her sister after a mission goes terribly wrong. Inside, though, things aren't what they seem, and Aegis might not be the only enemy at play here. What I loved most about this book was the world-building, which was so intricate and layered and felt extremely believable (and utterly terrifying at the same time.) Climate of Chaos gave me huge Hunger Games vibes, and I feel this title should be at the forefront of publishing's upcoming dystopian wave.

I can't wait to read more from Cassandra in the future! Well done!
