emilywv 's review for:

The Drowned Cities by Paolo Bacigalupi
4.0

Beware some intense, realistic violence and difficult-to-process parallels with the horrors of contemporary child-soldiering. Worth reading though, if you can handle it. Scenes focusing on the main character's developing relationship with a Wolverine-type character (ala X-Men) provide welcome relief from those focusing on the war zone they live in.
