Description
The Wolf and the Rain
A dystopian novel
An anarchic city. A soldier with an ugly past. The missing girl she won’t give up on.
Global
warming has divided the continent. In the drought-stricken South where
the populace is as barren as the land, an authoritarian government
promises comfort if not freedom. To the north is anarchy. Devastated
again and again by hurricanes and tremors, wildfires and flooding,
everything is broken and nothing is ever rebuilt.
Samarra, a southern
soldier, has fled to the Barrow, a northern city where the only things
growing faster than the city’s piles of garbage are extremist cults and
violent gangs. Her sole objective is survival: to stay hidden and stay
safe.
With jobs in short supply, Samarra counts herself lucky to find
work with the Vauns, one of the Barrow’s most powerful and dangerous
families. As she learns to navigate the beauty, the horror, and the
magic of the lawless city, she finds herself living in the shadow of a
missing woman—the beautiful and mysterious Raina, who worked for the
Vauns before her. When the trail, long thought cold, heats up, Samarra
must decide whether her newly gained chance at freedom is worth
sacrificing for a ghost.

I cannot wait to read the next book in this series. Sam, a girl living in the Barrow, finds herself working for a compound and hiding a large secret from her friends. She becomes committed to solving a disappearance that ultimately leads to multiple near death encounters. I could not put this book down once I started. This story is absolutely unique and so well written. Every character added many twists and turns to the story. By far, the most captivating part of this novel is the Sieren life. Sora has much more story to tell. The ending was a bit rushed and the dialogue jumped quickly, but it did not sway me from continuing. I thought the author did a spectacular job with sexual orientation in this novel. I absolutely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys dystopian novels and enjoys books like Oryx and Crake. There are several sudtles to this story and several of Atwood's classics.

The wolf and the rain is set in a future where there is a North and South, one is a thriving, militant, and technologically advanced group.. The other is dirty, uneducated, and ruthless. Sam grows up learning to be the best soldier she can be, fighting and educated. Situations land her in the middle of an unfamiliar land, working as a drudge in the middle of a post apocalyptic nightmare. She tries to fit in and keep her real identity hidden while also trying to uncover the mystery of the missing girl whose position she filled. She makes friends along the way, but as she keeps being told, “you can’t trust a drudge”.
I was glued to every page and couldn’t put this book down until I knew what was going on! I can’t wait for the next book!
