The Compound: A Novel by Aisling Rawle

4.0

Wow this was so fun!!! It was a combo of Lord of the Flies, Black Mirror, and reality tv. I actually really enjoyed how distant we were from the MC - I never got to know her or understand her true motivations and I feel like it added to the story in a good way. I wanted to know more about the world and the war people kept referencing. I loved all the characters!! I was worried I was going to have a hard time keeping them straight but they were all pretty distinct. I also was concerned about it feeling repetitive due to the nature of the show, but it was pretty fast paced and escalated quickly. I thought this was such a cool concept and devoured the novel in one sitting!

Thank you to Random House and NetGalley for the ARC.
