Thank you to the author and Cranthorpe Millner for an arc of this book in exchange of an honest review.
This book was faced paced, packed with emotions and twists and really enjoyable overall.
It’s a different read as this is based on an ecological disaster that in all honesty could end up become non fiction.
It was well written, plenty of information given and developped in an interesting way between Asia and Europe and setting of a chain of events.
The characters were lovable, I did enjoy the two perspectives from Mei in China and then Amy and Joel in the UK. It was nice to see how their paths crossed and how their stories unfolded.
I am not a fan of books that have several POV’s but this one was cleaver in the way that it gave out loads of information.
Towards the end there’s new characters introduced and that gave a nice added touch to the book and added drama which kept the book going and kept me hooked on even more.
The ending itself really makes me want to pick the next book as there’s plenty of material for a second book and a lot of unanswered questions.
To finish off my review I would like to say that the book is fast paced, clever, well researched with no unlogical moments. I love how this book made me think of The Walking Dead.
The writing is fluid and nice to get along with and I love the front cover of this book which is what gripped me to start off with. I would definitely recommend readers to pick up this book.
