anchovysaurus 's review for:

Dehiscent by Ashley Deng

3.5

dark hopeful reflective slow-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

The climate-ravaged dystopia and the flora inside the Zhu house were striking. However, the first quarter of the book is essentially a description of the world's state; the worldbuilding isn't woven gently into the story. The secret of how the house provides was also predictable. Nevertheless, I appreciate that the story ends on a

hopeful

note.
