The Walled City by Ryan Graudin

4.0

man, i love it when books that i had no expectations for settle into my bones and rattle in my brain, changing the way i speak, the way i act, the way i walk - everything. despite the flowery language and the flat characters, i can't stop thinking about the walled city. maybe it was the truth rooted in the setting, maybe it was the surprising grittiness of the action, maybe it was the way certain plot points hit a little too close to home, but this story came to me at exactly the right time in exactly the right way. and i can't stop thinking about it.
