A review by deirdrekoala
Above by Leah Bobet

3.0

I started this book thinking it was a dystopian science-fiction novel, only to realize while reading that it's an urban fantasy novel that takes place in the present (as far as the reader can tell, anyway. The ambiguous present?). This in itself was a really interesting way to set up a story, so I liked that aspect of discovery. I gave [b:Above|11250671|Above|Leah Bobet|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1334007434s/11250671.jpg|16177154] three stars instead of four because I never felt particularly attached to the two main characters, Matthew and Ariel. I was most interested in the antagonist, Corner, and I had to wait and wait to learn Corner's backstory.
