![]() Can she be happy if she knows it’s all fake? Badger captures the unraveling of the pure dystopian world, juxtaposing Wren’s breakdown against the echoes of bliss still experienced by other characters, revealing the truth in an almost horrifying clarity worthy of big league sci-fi writers. She must decide if she’s strong enough to pursue the truth or if she can allow herself to be lulled back into ignorance. The most powerful moment comes when Wren is faced with the knowledge that what she’s believed to be true is based on lies. In some ways the suspicion which is so well-voiced by Blaze is really what propels the story forward. Of course we’re suspicious of the perfect world right from the start, but even that works for the story. The idea of reading a utopian story really appealed to me, and I think Badger really delivered on that idea. But as piece after piece of her perfect world begin to crumble, Wren finds it harder and harder to believe.Īt first glance, this is definitely a different book. When strange flashes of another life begin plaguing Wren, she tries to hold on to Dot’s ways and be happy. ![]() Dot has made all creation good and beautiful, and she’s left instructions for how to live. Wren and her companions live in a beautiful utopian world where pleasure is the highest value. Published OctoAmazon | Barnes & Noble | Goodreads ![]()
