bookwormmichelle 's review for:
The Light Pirate
by Lily Brooks-Dalton
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC of this book.
I wasn't sure what to expect from this, as I have never read this author before and the cover and description seemed ok but not super compelling. So I "made" myself get started . . . and quickly found myself completely immersed in this clifi story. I was sooo into the first part, about Wanda's mom and family, and then quickly got very attached to Wanda too, and loved her story of survival and transcendence. I found the story of the rapid dissolution of society following the near constant hurricanes and flooding to be very realistic-feeling, like this could be our world in a very short time, and I also liked the speculative element. This was just so well done and very difficult to put down. I recommend this absorbing tale for anyone who likes climate fiction or family drama or survival stories.
