Some Books Ago is a shout out to all those books published some years ago, because I don't want you to forget them!
Hi there! I'm back from an unexpected break because my computer had a BIG problem like... two weeks ago, and since laptops are REALLY expensive here in my country I couldn't get a new one. So, had to wait until my cousin helped me fix it. And... well, he did it for free so it wasn't priority.
But I'm back again and I missed all the lovely blogs I read everyday and I missed Goodreads so much, which was unexpected, too.
Anyway. Today I want to share with you The Ward by Jordana Frankel. I think it's been forever since I added this book to my TBR, but I never had the chance to read it. Have you? Was it good?
Summary:
Sixteen-year-old Ren is
a daredevil mobile racer who will risk everything to survive in the
Ward, what remains of a water-logged Manhattan. To save her sister, who
is suffering from a deadly illness thought to be caused by years of
pollution, Ren accepts a secret mission from the government: to search
for a freshwater source in the Ward, with the hope of it leading to a
cure.
However, she never expects that her search will lead to dangerous encounters with a passionate young scientist; a web of deceit and lies; and an earth-shattering mystery that’s lurking deep beneath the water’s rippling surface.
Jordana Frankel’s ambitious debut novel and the first in a two-book series, The Ward is arresting, cinematic, and thrilling—perfect for fans of Scott Westerfeld or Ann Aguirre.

Yey! Glad you're back. This one sounds interesting :D
ReplyDelete*waves* Hey hey! Glad you got some help with your computer!
ReplyDeleteI remember reading this book! I think I gave it three stars - it didn't impress me, and I didn't love it. There were some cool action-y scenes, but overall, not the best story (for *me*). I didn't even read the sequel! Still, I love this book's cover. It is so great!
