Lark Ascending by Silas House

emotional hopeful reflective sad medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated

 Don't have much to say other than I really enjoyed this; it was a quick read for me. I liked the style, cared for the characters, looked forward to what would happen next. Other dystopian/post-apocalyptic books explore the sociopolitical aspect (fundamentalism, hyper-nationalism, geopolitics etc.)  more thoroughly, this book is more about hope, survival, and I'll even say loneliness/community. The ending left a bit to be desired for me, but I didn't feel completely let down by it.
