I was surprised to find that the author is British.The book contains a number of annoying Americanisms,including the expression "the longest time",something I have never heard used in the UK.However by far the most annoying word in the book,and it is used very often is "somewhat".Everything seems to be somewhat this or somewhat that.
The story itself is quite interesting.The best character in the book is a Sony super mp3 player who has much more personality than Koli who is oddly wimpish.I am not sure that adding a trans character added anything to the story,other than making it woke.
The story may improve through the trilogy but this book is only a moderate start.

Hur beräknas betyg?
För att beräkna det totala stjärnbetyget och den procentuella fördelningen per stjärna använder vi inte ett enkelt medelvärde. Istället tar vårt system hänsyn till saker som till exempel hur nyligen en recension har gjorts och om recensenten köpte artikeln på Amazon. Det analyserar också recensioner för att verifiera deras trovärdighet.

Great start to a new trilogy
Granskad i Storbritannien den 21 augusti 2020Verifierat köp
I love this author. The story is set in a dystopian time where technology is only available to the few. Koli is the protagonist and after a struggle sets out to travel in a difficult and dangerous land. Very gripping and imaginative. I can’t wait to read the next book.

The beginning of a post apocalyptic trilogy that, if this first book is anything to go by, is going to be well worth getting in to
