This is one of my favorite covers of my recently read books and it was one reason I quickly jumped to find out more about the book itself too. Just very cool all around.
Synopsis
Living in a post-climate disaster world protected by a layer of artificial cloud, Mallory knows every shade of darkness, their world lit sparingly by bioluminescence. But when Rein stumbles across their path—radioactive light bleeding from their teeth, their skin twisted and burned—Mallory’s worldview implodes, and the true cost of their survival becomes all too clear.
A haunting cli-fi novella ideal for fans of Tiffany Morris and Stephanie Feldman, EVERY DARK CLOUD combines a dystopian setting and class-conscious narrative with a glimmer of hope for our shared humanity.
Review
This was a total impulse read that wasn’t in my plans at all and I’m so glad I chose to do it! What a cool story! The world building was my favorite part, but the story itself was cool too with a good pace. I liked the characters a lot and still think about their potential lives before and after this story now. I really hope we’ll get another one in this setting. It has so much potential!
Honestly, I think my biggest criticism is its length. While it worked well as it is, it also totally had the potential to be a full-length novel, which I probably would’ve enjoyed even more because that would’ve allowed for even more of the awesome world building and some more character development!
