A review by jessdone
The Book of Flora by Meg Elison
4.0
Beautiful prose, complicated concepts, it's everything good dystopian science fiction should be. As with all of the books in "The Road to Nowhere Series," this book produced a certain level of depression and anxiety in me. In this case it over took me and I wasn't able to finish the book. It's still excellent though.
Obviously I can't speak to the ending as I only got about a third of the way through, but with this series, the ending wasn't really the point. It's a great journey and exploration of cultural and societal expectations. While I don't agree with every twist Elison makes, I don't have to agree to join her exploration.
While I hope one day to return to this book and complete it, I don't want to wait to review it when I know I'd recommend it to others. An engaging thoughtful read.
