Juneau's old mentor, Whit, offers scientific explanations for the clan's superpowers, but Juneau, secure in her mystical spirit connections, holds to her beliefs. After flirting with Whit's explanations, Plum comes firmly down on Juneau's side. Of note is Juneau's relationship with the clan's special raven messenger, named Poe, adding some intertextual fun.

Grades 8-11 Teenage pharmaceutical heir Miles lies at death's door as his story takes up where After the End (2014) left off. To save him, Juneau, who grew up in an isolated community in Alaska, has administered her clan's mystical chemical elixir, a substance that suspends aging and enhances health. Powerful corporations, including one owned by Miles' father, will stop at nothing to obtain this elixir, including kidnapping Juneau's clan. The perspective alternates between the teens, who are both out of their element, falling in love, and learning to adapt. Something of a slow burn, but a satisfying conclusion to the companion stories.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2015, American Library Association.)
