Trigger warnings: Fire, imprisonment
This was a book that was part of the library reading challenge of the month. Two of the goals were to read a science fiction book and/or a book from a First Australian author.
6/10, looking back at this I actually enjoyed it however I must say that I've definitely seen some better dystopian novels out there and I don't think this holds up well anymore more than a decade after it was published though I do admit there was a solid concept and the execution was alright I guess, where do I even begin. It starts off with the main character Ashala Wolf or Ashala for short and not too far into the book she was captured by Neville Rose and sent into a prison where she spends most of the book there and even that I've seen in other books I've read before and since then. Ashala meets some other characters whose names I forgot and she learns what it is like to live in the prison and I must tell you it isn't a very great place to live especially with the main antagonist and he wants to destroy Ashala's tribe which essentially means killing her as well and I didn't want that to happen but why would he do that in the first place I don't really know but it might have something to do with racism or something along those lines. Towards the end of the book Ashala and the other characters think of a plan to escape and they do that by burning the prison down and freeing the other prisoners which was very action packed and ended this on a high note.… (mer)
