A review by spinstah
Those Beyond the Wall by Micaiah Johnson

dark

4.0

There’s a lot going on here and I’m not sure it all works. It took me a while to get into this, in part because I didn’t remember the details of the first book, and in part because the sci-fi elements are less integral to the plot. There is a lot of rage and violence in this book (in the author’s note, the author says this is a book born of rage, so that tracks) and while it mostly fits the story, it is a lot. I’m also thinking about how another reviewer said that we automatically assume the POV character’s side is the “right” side, but is it? I think it is, but neither side is morally right. I think it would have been interesting to read it with that it n mind.
