Review Detail

The story:
Enora lives in a world run dry, where what little water is left is used as currency and is hard to come by. When she’s offered a role within the company who controls the water, she excels in her training and is soon ready to go out into the field. That is until she uncovers a secret she can’t ignore.

What I loved:
I love a dystopian story that feels like it could be possible. What would the world look like if our fresh water was limited and a company controlled what little of it was left? I think it could look very much like it does in After the Green Withered. Springer had a depth to him that I really loved and it left me wanting to know more about him.

What was just okay:
There was a lot of information to take in as soon as I started the story; how the world became the way it is, how people live, and about the company who controls the water. It did slow down the pace for a good portion of the book. It also finishes on a cliff-hanger which doesn’t usually worry me, but it felt as though I’d only just started getting into the actual story.

Final Verdict:
After the Green Withered is a Dystopian story that gives us a glimpse into a very possible future. That, along with the secret reveal at the end of the book, make me want to pick up the second book in the series when it’s released.
