Reading a book after spoilers
The threshing is a solid read. The plot moves along at a good pace, the world is fully developed and the characters have depth. I look forward to the sequels.
That being said, there were times I struggled with the book. I think the problem was that I had the entire plot spoiled for me through listening to the development of the novel on the StoryGrid podcast. There were times that I felt like something was lacking and I’m fairly sure that I can blame my expectation for how something I knew about would read versus how it actually turned out. I don’t suspect readers who are picking the book up without knowing about it will have this problem.
The writing is efficient, albeit straightforward. It supports storytelling in a dystopian world. I think Tim’s first foray into fiction was a success.
I look forward to the rest of Jesse’s story.
