Review: The Bone Road

The Bone Road by Lorca Damon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

"The Bone Road" by Lorca Damon is my first dystopian read this year, mainly due to the fact that I've been engrossed with romance books that I really should have completed last year. I dove into the book without reading the blurb so I had no idea what the story was about, and was pleasantly surprised at the depth of characters and detail that sucked me in.

Xander heads out from jail into the unknown outside the walls meant to keep him safe in hopes of completing a task. He wasn't prepared for what he found outside the walls: villages of people that live without any of the comforts he is accustomed to, dangerous animals running wild, people just trying to survive the harsh realities that have been thrust upon them. When they send him off with a 10-year-old girl as his guide, he realizes that he underestimates her abilities and has to reassess his own estimation of himself and put his ego aside. They face dangers that I hope no one ever has to face.

"The Bone Road" made me look at the political climate and consumer society that we live in with new eyes, and unfortunately, this is a possible alternate reality for us all. Hopefully, we get ourselves together enough to avoid this future for our children.
