Förvildade rory power

En mystisk sjukdom kallad Tox har förvandlat deras kroppar på fasansfulla sätt – vissa får extra organ, andra tappar kroppsdelar. The feminist YA dystopian theme is taking the world by storm right now, and it's definitely my favorite genre at the moment. It's not necessarily a flaw, but I did feel more like I was reading a really long prologue waiting for the story to begin, rather than being filled in with pieces throughout the story.

Var mycket annat i boken underutvecklat tog nog detta priset. Things bursting out of us, bits missing and pieces sloughing off, and then we harden and smooth over."

I can see why Rory Power's debut novel Wilder Girls is getting serious buzz; it's not just a pretty cover, as it contains an excellent writing style that wavers between flowery prose and captivating horror.

Förvildades. Men när Hettys bästa vän försvinner förändras allt. There are some really great action scenes, terrifying revelations, and creative plot devices used in this story, but they were overshadowed by multiple scenes of teenage bickering, and perhaps this is where I need to state that I am NOT the intended target audience, and this may be the very type of thing that teens enjoy reading these days.

I'm not sure if this is a setup for a future series, as there are many, MANY major questions left unanswered, but perhaps what I failed to realize in my reading is that, the point isn't about the who/what/when/where/why/hows surrounding the Tox and what comes next, but simply around the allegories to female struggles today.
