"The Drowned Cities" | 60second Book Review
Transcription
Reception
The Drowned Cities was reviewed by Adi Robertson of The Verge, who wrote that the book "stands out as one of the most brutal pieces of YA fiction in recent years". According to Robertson, the book takes place in a realistic post-apocalyptic universe, and while the book takes on the theme of corrupting power, it is "almost uplifting".[2]

This was a cover I illustrated and designed a while back for Little, Brown that I'm finally able to post. Great book! If you like dystopian futures and armies made of children, I highly recommend it! This is a companion book to Paolo Bacigalupi's Ship Breaker, which I also worked on.
