A review by kellyhitchcock
Trashlands by Alison Stine

5.0

It's not often that I enjoy reading post-apocalytpic fiction about how we destroyed the planet, but Trashlands is a very notable exception. Then again, it's not often you'll find a post-apocalyptic novel that's this beautifully written. It took me a few chapters in to realize that the story was bouncing between the present and the past, but once I got past that I was good to go. The characters all have unique and well-rounded arcs and the world Stine imagines is vivid in its bleakness. The abrupt ending took me by surprise but didn't disappoint me in any way. And yeah, you'll probably look at the plastic you pass on the side of the road a little differently after this read.

I received an advance review copy of Trashlands in a Goodreads giveaway.
