Wanted

by Tim Arnot

[clairelm]

This is a dystopian novel with a difference. Where most stories of the genre seem to focus on an oppressed and beaten society, Tim's post Collapse world, while not perfect and still full of hardship, seems more realistic and fairer than usual.

The characters as well have a sense of realism, they're not immediately brilliant at things the first time they try them, they make mistakes and it makes them much more likeable. I particularly like Flick and the way she copes with the events that unfold.

I can't wait for the next in the series, I hope we find out more about Shea and the Scavs as well.
