The Interrogation of Ashala Wolf by Ambelin Kwaymullina
2.0
Well, that was a steady decline into madness.
Several of the reviews were praising this book for it's originality, only it's not very original. Sure, there are original elements, but they're cast in an overly generic dystopia, primarily within an overly generic prison/asylum. Add in irrational and all-encompassing, death-defying instalove and you get a weird YA PR. I think the story had potential, and if it had been pitched to a ghost writer to develop the world, characters and plot, it might have been good.
