This was a really exciting read. I didn't know what to expect going in, but I was really blown away by the storytelling in A Valley to Harness. This novel is outside what I normally read, but I had some touchstones to look to in the genre, and A Valley to Harness still kept me on the edge of my seat and turning pages.

An intriguing exploration of innovation and environmental ethics, A Valley to Harness blends suspense, rich characters, and a speculative future to craft a thought-provoking narrative.

Bartles' writing shines through in his amazing ability to bring the world to life through imagery. The characters are well developed and you can understand their motivations very clearly. This novel is extremely thought provoking and an amazing examination of the cost of innovation.
