What our readers think
Readers find this title to be a powerful and fascinating story, with a mix of sadness, wonder, and everyday joy. The author does an amazing job of portraying the world of Tetly, with its hidden pains and sweetly written moments. The narrator is excellent and brings the story to life. Overall, this book is highly recommended.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Tedious and redundant in a lot of ways that make it hard to get into. I managed to get at least halfway
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5From her hysterical commentary to her heartbreaking tenderness, Tetley won my heart. This book surprised me and was well worth the read ♥️
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Imaginative, touching, absolutely love the main character and her approach to the challenges of life on what is left of earth ❤️
I don't want to share more.
A story of discovery, hope, connection, love, longing, loss and more discovery. Captivating characters. Fantastic world building. Post more than apocalypse. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A very powerful book in some ways. I can't say I agree with the main character in a lot of respects, but she and her world are fascinating anyhow. This story was actually much sadder than I was expecting, at least sad to me. The author does an amazing job of imbuing the world of Tetly with a lot of wonder and every day joy, for all her trauma. It's the subtext parts of of her world that are saddest, hidden amongst the obvious pains.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is definitely the author's best work since her Fairyland series, and the narrator was excellent, really brought the story to life. I highly recommend it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Really sad. But so sweetly written, and also often hilarious. And the narrator is great.
