Long Dark Dusk by J.P. Smythe, James Smythe
4.0
It was such a pleasure to slip back into Chan's world and I enjoyed the second installment of the Australia trilogy just as much as the first.
James continues to draw his icy fingers of prediction down my back as I consider what it would be like to live in a Smythe created future. In a world that's moved on, humans have practically destroyed everything we thought was important with greed and hubris and we're left clinging to pockets of civilisation surrounded by walls and devastation. Really, what's not to love?!
His ability to paint a picture of a world that feels so familiar yet so alien is a testament to his skill, and my growing sense of unease while immersed in the story only adds to the atmosphere of this excellent series.
One to watch.
