Those Beyond the Wall by Micaiah Johnson
4.0
Thank you NetGalley for providing a review copy in exchange for an honest review.
For starters, I loved The Space Between Worlds. Truly one of the best sci-fi novels of our time, in my opinion.
That said, the premise of that novel leaves a lot of potential for this one, that left me massively confused in the beginning. (Admittedly I did not do a reread though, so maybe if I had been freshly familiar with the story, it wouldn't have been so bad.) Either way, by the time this story was rolling, it didn't matter.
Topical, fascinating, brutal, and surprising, this novel hits it all. If you liked Johnson's previous novel, you need to pick this one up.
