The Light at the Bottom of the World by London Shah
2.0
It was ok I guess. Lots of poor logic and suspended disbelief in the world building for sure. I also wish the setting was more described as well as the way of life for these people. For the most part it seems like nothing has changed for everyday life. Like where does leyla get her tea?? Wouldn’t that be really expensive or something? Or the lamb for the food she eats?
Anyways if you look past some of these world building issues there is a pretty solid story. I like how it confronts fear and examines hope for both of the main characters. The prose is nice too. Very good at setting the tone.
The dialogue is pretty cringe though. It’s just ehh. and the handsome dark muscle boy is of course there. Cliche but he’s much more interesting than I first thought he would be.
Overall it was fast paced enough to keep my attention but I don’t know if I’ll finish the duology.
