Description
Traveling alone through the climate-crisis-ravaged wilds of Alberta’s Rocky Mountains, 19-year-old Reid Graham battles the elements and her lifelong chronic illness to reach the utopia of Howse University. But life in one of the storied “domes” — the last remnants of pre-collapse society — isn’t what she expected. Reid tries to excel in her classes and make connections with other students, but still grapples with guilt over what happened just before she left her community. And as she learns more about life at Howse, she begins to realize she can’t stand idly by as the people of the dome purposely withhold needed resources from the rest of humanity. When the worst of news comes from back home, Reid must make a choice between herself, her family, and the broken new world.
In this powerful follow-up to her award-winning novella The Annual Migration of Clouds, Premee Mohamed is at the top of her game as she explores the conflicts and complexities of this post-apocalyptic society and asks whether humanity is doomed to forever recreate its worst mistakes.

“The Annual Migration of Clouds” had me craving more, so I was THRILLED to read the follow up, “We Speak Through The Mountain,” AND I am hoping there is more to come!
Short, intense read. This world is for me both post-apocalyptic and gothic. There is a poetry, brutality, longing, haunting to this coming of age story.
Read the previous book, read this one. READ IT!
Thank you to ECW Press for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley.

I read Premee Mohamd's The Annual Migration of Clouds back in 2022 as it was recommended as prompt for The FOLD reading Challenge and I enjoyed the creative and inventive way she told her Dystopian novel.
When I saw their was a sequel I jumped at a chance for an opportunity to read it and see what happens to Reid as she attends Howse University secluded in the Alberta Rocky Mountains where she hopes to learn the tools that could help her community after she graduates.
However when she gets there, something more insidious at work and struggles to navigate the changes that have her forced to face making Reid feel like an outsider.
Premee Mohamd has a way with reading a clear and concise story in less then 200 pages and I wish there were more Sci-Fi novels like this. This was a fantastic follow up and should be a staple in the more recent Cli-Fi Genre. I'm really hoping there's a 3rd book because what a cliff hanger of an ending.

A fantastic dystopian novella follow up to her debut collection of stories that had me invested from the start and unable to stop listening. Great on audio and perfect for fans of authors like Cherie Dimaline, this was thought-provoking and easily immersive and I can't wait for more! Also can we just mention what AMAZINGLY gorgeous covers both Premee's books have? I am absolutely OBSESSED!! Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early digital and audio copy in exchange for my honest review!
