Why read it?
2 authors picked The Dividing Sky as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book was like a masterclass in how to write a compelling plot with plenty of conflict and action. I loved the world Tew created and her fast paced style of storytelling. She's a very masterful writer and I can't wait to read her latest book.
I loved the fun enemies-to-lovers-back-to-enemies romance between “memory merchant” Liv and rookie foreman Adrian, set against a disturbingly realistic dystopia. In the world of the Metro, people have traded security for real experiences.
They’ve never tasted real food, spent time in nature, or seen the stars. Instead, they are constantly grinding to keep up their productivity scores. I was drawn to the critique of the gig economy and the use of technology to maximize efficiency over humanity. Dystopian sci-fi is back, baby!
From Claire's list on sci-fi romance that will make you think.
