Picked up this book at the Calgary BookCrossing July meet-up. I initially balked at the thought of reading a book by a poet, but I liked the notion of a dystopian setting. Let's see how this book turns out.

I really enjoyed this book. I was reminded a lot of "Station Eleven". The world building was tremendous and doesn't seem far fetched at all. Paulette Jiles does a really good job laying out how everything works in this new world order. You expect the book to end at a certain point, but then, it keeps going and nothing turns out as the characters planned, and that was a nice twist. The story does drift away from Nadia and James at that point; new characters are introduced and for a while you don't know why. But that was my only gripe. Highly recommended.

The idea of this book is interesting, a dystopian future where urban sprawl has overtaken the world, and the populace is controlled by the government by rationing their water. The story was boring though.
