Review by Chrissi (310817) Rating (8/10) Review
by Chrissi Min doesn’t like her therapist, she feels that she cannot trust him as he writes his reports and she refuses to communicate with him. Unbeknownst to her, Noah sees the same therapist but does not share her antipathy for the man. There is something a bit strange going on in Fire Valley, a community isolated from civilisation by a narrow bridge across a deep chasm. The world outside Fire Valley seems to be going mad, there are reports of bad things which prompt the people to isolate themselves from the outside world. In amongst this, another child from their class dies and Min and Noah realise that something is going on, and that there might be others being killed and not dying. As events proceed apace, it becomes apparent that Noah and Min are apart from their peers and that there are secrets kept within the community of Fire Valley. I cannot say much more as there would have to be whole klaxons and flashing lights thing for a spoiler; I am not a great one for guessing the trajectory of plotlines as I read, but I really did not see any of this happening. I kind of don’t understand some of it, the whole dead/alive thing kind of escaped me, but it made for a fast-paced story and I cannot resist one of those. |
