The world is barren and
water is power for The Drought Mitigation Corporation (DMC) that rules it in this YA Dystopian about 18-year-old Enora Byrnes and the choices made for her that she has to live with or die because
of. Trust me when I say her tale will hurt you so good.
This book is scary because
we could easily end up like Enora and everyone else in this story. It’s
depressing as hell, but in a good way. Does that even make sense? I mean, it’s
a great dystopian tale about what could happen if our climate changes so horribly
that water becomes scarce and everything green just dies. It makes me
appreciate that we aren’t that bad. Yet. We still have time to turn our planet
around. In Enora’s world it’s so much worse than she could ever imagine, or that
I could imagine. And I can imagine a lot. Oh, man, I do not envy her discovery.
When faced with an
impossible choice what would you do? Toe the line with head down or resist and
probably end up dying a painful death? It’s not a simple choice by any means and
Enora’s internal conflict shows throughout the entire book. Should she? Shouldn’t
she? What can she do? She’s just one person. Or is she?
The world building is
decent even if it slows the narrative a bit in the beginning. The characters
are pretty well-defined and the conflict, both external and internal, is
nail-biting. I took off for the slow beginning and because Enora had a tendency
to irritate me a bit at times. Even with the detractions I had a hard time
putting the book down. This is one YA Dystopian you should not miss.
