Enora Byrnes has lived
her whole life under the control of the DMC. Water is scarce and the resource
must be carefully guarded. But the resistance believes the DMC has more than
they are sharing. Enora and Springer were soldiers for the DMC once. Now they
are with the resistance and with each day that passes, things get worse.
Stories are told on both sides, but they both can’t be right. Can they?
This is a bleak look
into a future we don’t want. Ever. I can’t imagine this world as a real world
and yet I know it could happen. If we aren’t much more careful with this planet
we live on, that supports us, we will be staring right into the face of this
tale. And it is not pretty. Enora is such a conflicted character. At times it’s
hard to like her because she has a tendency to be an idiot, but for the most
part I feel for her. Springer is her one constant and he’s still a bit of a
mystery. One thing that’s unquestionable is his devotion to Enora. He always
has her back. They are in this together, all the way to the end. And then there’s
Ander. What are they going to do with him? If you like YA Dystopian stories
then you should really pick up After the
Green Withered and this one. They will wring your heart out until you’re
left with a dried out husk. Fitting for this desolate world.
