✨ "It Ends at the Wall" is a new dystopian journey set in a future England, engulfed by endless smog, devastating illness, and completely lost technology. It is a sharp commentary on the potential consequences of political decisions made over the past 15+ years around the world - and the ones yet to come - and feels terrifyingly relevant.
💪 Harra is the 17-year old main character and she truly shines as a resilient and determined young woman. I enjoyed watching her navigate the dangers of her world, setting out on her journey with only a mysterious list of instructions to guide her, defying the odds and meeting an odd-ball set of people along the way. It's easy to root for her, given her resourcefulness and general attitude.
🐕🦺 I can't forget Jessy, the dog! Harra finding Jessy just seemed to add a wee bit of warmth and hope to what is otherwise and incredibly bleak setting, and proves that even in the darkest moments, that companionship can lend some light.
While the story felt a bit heavy at time, given the topic, the tension and pacing made it a great read, and left me feeling quite reflective about the state of the world.
Definitely recommend this for fans of dystopian fiction!
