After oversaturating myself with dystopian/apocalyptic stories several years ago, I was a bit hesitant to jump back in. But the description of this one was intriguing enough that I decided to give it a try.
In a world not so far into the future, a wall separates two entirely different worlds. On one side live average working class people thrust into a life of poverty. On the other side is the source of their troubles…the rich ruling class. Abbie has on,never known life in Eureka, but it’s enough for her to know she wants something better. So she applies for a job in Port Allegiance. When she’s granted a job, she finally gets a glimpse at what life is like on the other side. She quickly discovers, however, that’s everything isn’t as shiny as it seems on the surface.
This was a good story with strong characters. My hope is that the second part of the story isn’t too far out.
