The Walled City by Ryan Graudin

5.0

---

4 1/2 stars maybe just because it took a little while for me to fall into the story. Wow. Everyone needs to read this book. Everyone. It’s heart wrenching and has enough truth in it to be very important. By about 60% of the way through I needed to know the rest badly. I care deeply for these characters, they’re so broken but strong. I don’t want to talk about the plot or characters much more than the synopsis does because I think you’re better off just experiencing it. I really enjoyed Invictus, also by Ryan Graudin. This is very different but equally well written, if not better. The endings to both had tears slowly leaking down my face and I’m left wanting more even though the plot is completed. I’m not doing a very good job of selling this. Please just read it. Or listen to it - the audiobook version is FANTASTIC.
