haitianrich 's review for:

The Drowned Cities by Paolo Bacigalupi
4.0

as a companion to Ship Breaker this feels less like an adventure and more like a brutal survival story and mirrors current-day war scenarios and a scary fashion. but Paolo creates a very brutal anti-hero in Tool. the genetically modified creature who was introduced in Ship Breaker.

These are YA stories i definitely didn't grow up reading.
