A review by tien
Nylon Angel by Marianne de Pierres
4.0
Enjoyed this one immensely -more than I thought I would! This was a bargain pickup which of course, I now found that subsequent books are out of print, Arrgh! I managed to find a copy from a second hand rare book store so hopefully it'll get here safely within the week :)
Parrish Plessis has built a tight multi-layered shell over her big heart and yet, some helpless people and feral children can still worm through to her warm living heart. She left home because it wasn't a safe place and she'd rather make it on her own. Yet, the Tert proves to be just as dangerous if not more as she turns out to be rather convenient as a pawn. However, she's been helpless before and she's never going to be rolled by anyone, ever again.
Set in Australia of 21 century, the world was rendered near unrecognisable as worsening climate has rendered internal regions to be near unlivable and so most lived near the coast. Yet, there is still the rich and the poor. The Tert(iary) is where Parrish lives and it is a poor area with war lords commanding different sections. But a war is brewing with Parrish caught in the midst of it all.
A kick ass heroine with heart and amazing world building, Nylon Angel was an engaging read and I wondered why I don't read many Cyberpunk novels. I believe I am now a convert.
