Camp Zero by Michelle Min Sterling

“As long as men exist in this world, they’ll do what they can to consolidate their power. We’ll spend one more year here and then return to the same shit world we left behind.”

Camp Zero by Michelle Min Sterling

QUICK SUMMARY 🖊️ 
In the not so distant future the best place to live will be the North, because of the rising temperatures. In the northern reaches of Canada sits an American base who will do anything to keep their family safe. 

FINAL THOUGHTS 💭 
First I want to thank @NetGalley & Atria Books for this eARC in exchange for my honest review. 

This book jumped out at me when I found out it was based in Canada, being Canadian I always love seeing this. Knowing the author was born in western Canada I had high hopes. Which came crashing down. 

The book and story itself are well written, when it’s good it’s good. But the “liberties” the author took with geographical locations took me completely out of the world. When you’re referencing very real places, an Indigenous Territories the geography needs to make sense and it didn’t which annoyed me to no end, honestly ask @curiously.Katt she was the unfortunate recipient of my voice memos. I don’t want to go into anymore detail than this incase others want to read it. But this was a big miss for me. 

Another thing was the dogs. Why pit bulls, use some other attack dog. They have enough of a bad wrap, it sucks seeing it portrayed as such in a dystopian.
