Adria Carmichael is a writer of Young Adult Dystopian fiction with a twist. When she is not devouring dystopian and post-apocalyptic content in any format - books, movies, TV-series and PlayStation games - she is crafting the epic and highly-addictive Juche saga, her 2020 debut novel series that takes place in the brutal, totalitarian nation of Choson. When the limit of doom and gloom is reached, a 10K run on a sunny day or binging a silly sitcom on a rainy day is her go-to way to unwind.
As a US citizen myself, I have been watching the turmoil that is the US government happen in real time. I was so curious to see how this author in particular was going turn the life I am seeing flash before my eyes, a dystopian novel. I have previously read Adria Carmichael's Korean dystopian books "Juche" and loved them. So I needed to take a chance on this new political novel of hers.
This poor nurse who has always been sympathetic to the downtrodden is getting tromped on herself this time. And she no longer has her friends to help her. Now what is she supposed to to do?
Can she start a new life somewhere else in the middle of a town of people who are politically polar opposites of what she has always been?
