A review by magnoliabloomfield
The Line by Teri Hall
4.0
The official story is not always the true story.
This story was cozy yet compelling. There were slice of life moments of a girl learning to grow orchids, but doing it amidst a totalitarian government and conspiracy theories and propaganda. This story hits much closer to home reading it in 2021.
While this book makes me think of popular series like maze runner or ready player one in some ways, it is a bit different. It’s not fast paced, but it’s not slow either. The characters, the people are what drive the plot as they react to the events around them. I was drawn in and compelled to read it but it didn’t get my heart hammering, which is appreciated since I have anxiety haha.
It’s a bit mystery and a bit scifi. There are new words and terms used but they’re not that hard to get a grasp on.
I’m honestly upset by the poor reviews I’ve seen of this book, it was really quite good. If I’m being honest I would have given it four stars because it’s not quite up there with my my most beloved five star books, but the fact people were dissing on it made me want to bump it up higher. I thoroughly recommend it.
