Lost Ark Dreaming by Suyi Davies Okungbowa

5.0

Fast paced futuristic dystopian with queer rep, Yoruba and flood mythology, and social commentary on class, privilege and climate change set in West Africa…like what else could I have asked for?? This was executed very well — I especially loved the way news reports and classified documents were incorporated into the story as a way of world building. The literal reflection of what it means to be a lower/middle/upper class person in the towers was so smart and I thought each character gave a unique perspective from their life on the level they lived. I love a novella but damn I would have loved to read this as a full length book too!!
