Les guerriers de l'eau

Rate this book
Nous sommes en l’an 2086. Victor Falaquet, quatorze ans, accompagne sa mère, Alma Bénéteau, médecin de Toronto, en mission humanitaire à Houston, dans l’ancien État du Texas. Aux États-Unis, devenus un ensemble anarchique de cités-États, des seigneurs de la guerre se disputent pour étendre leurs territoires et accaparer les ressources. Durant le séjour de Victor et d’Alma, Dallas, ville «à sec», rompant une trêve, attaque Houston afin de lui ravir sa précieuse eau. Pris dans ce conflit sanglant et absurde, Alma et Victor, tout comme les populations de Dallas et de Houston, doivent lutter pour leur survie.

Les Guerriers de l’eau has an interesting premise. The idea of the USA going to war over water feels timely, especially with ongoing conversations about the future of natural resources. That concept could spark some great classroom discussions about resources, politics, and power.

Unfortunately, the story itself did not hold me. I never felt attached to any of the characters, and the plot moved too slowly to keep my interest. There were only a few fleeting moments where I thought, “oh, maybe it is going to get good,” but they did not last.

Overall, the book landed below “meh” for me. I liked the idea behind it, but I will not be using it for school.
