A review by megatsunami
Daughters of the North by Sarah Hall
2.0
Debated between 2 and 3 stars for this dystopian novel. This book was fairly grim and there didn't seem to be much of an overall message or point to it, other than (I guess) a general critique of the government's inability to manage a crisis. The ending was abrupt and felt like a bit of a cop-out.
Also, I had a hard time resonating with the main character - especially her hero-worship of the founder of the outlaw colony, and her wish to join their armed resistance. She was supposedly in her early 30's but the character felt much younger to me (like early 20's).
