A review by kiramke
The Cautious Traveller's Guide to the Wastelands by Sarah Brooks

hopeful mysterious medium-paced

• Loveable characters? Yes

3.5

Mesmerizing build of atmosphere in the first part, at least, and I love the whole idea.  Great build of atmosphere.  Maybe something a bit off in the latter part, pacing or clarity or tone? I don't know quite what.  It's somehow too specific and not specific enough? Maybe I wanted different parts of the story to be highlighted. It seems many readers were frustrated by the slower parts.  I wanted more of those; more ambiguity with nonetheless more specificity.

Still lovely and worthwhile, I love this anti-capitalist embracing of wildness.
