With her second Jacob‘s Ladder novel, Bear shifts her attention to the generation ship‘s older characters while the youngsters regroup. It took me a little while to sink into, partly because of the shift and partly because I remember liking it much less than DUST the first time through, but I soon found myself hard into it. CHILL is another weird story about a weird family that rules over a weird world. There‘s tons to unpack. I loved it.
