dark hopeful tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character

5.0

The Road is a hard look at the grit required to cling to hope in the cold, dark hellscape of the world to come. Strip away the dystopian embellishments to the story and you may find uncomfortable parallels to the world of the here and now too.
