A review by itsme_lori
The Walled City by Ryan Graudin

4.0

This book is beautiful and gripping and haunting. It's been a long time since I've read a 400+ page book as quickly as I read this. The characters and the setting and the plot all sucked me in. It's fast-paced but doesn't sacrifice character development to plot. And it turns out it's more of a sort of historical fiction than dystopian. Google Kowloon Walled City to learn about the setting of this book. It was real. And it comes back to life in this novel. I definitely recommend this book and am thankful to Around the World ARC Tours for letting me borrow their ARC to read.
