This Fragile Earth by Susannah Wise
3.0
challenging dark
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

 As technology fails and the world ceases to function we follow a family in London as they come to terms with what’s happening and try to survive.

This was a great look at how we would function if all the methods we use in the modern world ceased to function. I enjoyed how we could clearly see where each of the parents priorities were and how different this was.

The end was unusual take and I thought it worked well within the context of this novel, overall it was a very clever and thought provoking read that was a perfect example of why I love this genre.

Thank you @instabooktours and @gollancz for my review copy as part of the blog tour.
