A review by ljrinaldi
Odessa by Jonathan Hill

3.0

This a journey story, only the journey is taking place in a world mostly destroyed by a massive earthquake. Eight years later, and Ginny receives a package from her mother, who left her, and now she wants to find her, thus the trip.

The name of this first volume is the feminine version of Odysseus, the wanderer. And like her namesake, Ginny has to wander pretty far to get to where her mother is.

It is interesting seeing the artists version of San Francisco ruined by this massive earthquake. And quite plausible.

But since this appears to be a series, it does not wrap up in this volume, so we have much more of the journey to go to find the resolution. And that being so, it is hard to rate how well this will end, with only having the beginning.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
