I didn't have many high hopes going into this, but I couldn't really pick anything out of this book that I enjoyed so thus I present you with a one-star book.
Honestly, it's my bad, I didn't really read the synopsis thoroughly before I downloaded this digital advanced reader copy and this doesn't seem much like something I would enjoy in a standalone sci-fi novel.
The story follows Ning'er who LITERALLY sold her arm and leg to survive in this dystopian Beijing society. She gets by being a burglar and is a part of the sixth ring community. Beijing is separated by six rings which is meant to be geographically, but is actually based on their class levels. Slowly but surely she meets people within this community who want to start a revolution, however, in this society, she's seen revolutions and uprisings fail on and on again. Time is running out and she doesn't know if she should sit and watch or have some hope and die trying.
This novel releases on November 28, 2023 from Simon & Schuster!
