Status Updates From The Wall

Well, third third act was ~interesting~, but also lackluster. It put our characters in a position I didn't expect, but it lacked the courage to make any genuine social commentary typical of a dystopian novel. It ended in a weird spot but I'm not really sure what sort of ending would have satisfied me. Something with a but more punch, a bit more reflection for the audience. Overall, 3.5 stars.

As expected, I did not expect Part 2 to go the way that it did! Wow! Onto Part 3 then. This will be, purely out of speculation, the most interesting and formative part of the novel.

Just finished Part 1, cool setup. Interested in how future interactions with the Others will go. It's introduced an extreme version of the socio-economic issues of climate migration, so I can't anticipate the upcoming conflict and resolution.

Engaging premise, easy flow. The narrator's own voice, especially to himself, is very interesting. Curious to see how his frame of reference/worldview changes over time, especially as he has already referenced impactful things to come.
