Escaping Exodus
by Nicky Drayden
This story dealt with questions of who counts as a person, whose lives are of value, and what to do when you have limited resources and any decision will cost lives or cause suffering. It involves protagonists from different class backgrounds who clearly love each other but are not allowed to be together, and who are both human and imperfect. This imperfection made it hard for me to like Seske, though, and hard to care about her struggles, which seemed so unimportant compared to Adalla's, which put her life on the line repeatedly. I found myself rooting for Adalla a lot. I really liked her. But even when Seske learned what she needed to learn, I didn't relate to her nearly as much. Adalla's part of the story kept me reading to the end, but overall, I'm not sure this book was quite my thing.
