The Shutouts by Gabrielle Korn
4.0
Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for providing this book, with my honest review below.
I read Yours for the Taking and was excited to see The Shutouts, the follow up to that story, coming out. Gabrielle Korn has fascinating ideas that play out well in her books, and The Shutouts was a great revisit back into a screwed up world (that could in some ways be our future). What I found most interesting, outside of the characters, was the insight into the build up to the big climate disaster that cause The Inside to be created. We see a lot about how things may have been prevented with Vero doing what was right, and what his cult like group later became under Len’s leadership. We also see what happens next for Ava and Brook. Most fascinating though was Kelly, who acts as the view into what happened before The Inside. The only thing I couldn’t really get past was Orchid’s disregard for her letters!
