Ruth Tell liked Koala's review of The Restoration of Aya : Part One: The Awakening: "4.5 stars. This was a thought-provoking, bittersweet sci-fi story about a world far in the future where the deceased are brought back to life and become immortal. The book was very character-driven with plenty of sci-fi / dystopian worldbuilding. The" Read more of this review »
