AJ Kerrigan reviewed The Fall of Koli by M. R. Carey
Review of 'The Fall of Koli' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
This book was a delight, and did exactly what I want in the first book of a trilogy. It was satisfying on its own, but more importantly it developed a world and characters that I want to visit again as soon as possible.
I've read some books recently that feel like heavy-handed social commentary with a too-thin story wrapped around it. This book has some definite social commentary of its own, but it's handled beautifully. There's a rich world, well-developed characters, and social concerns that feel like a natural part of that world rather than a giant, fourth wall-shattering wink at the reader.
Can't wait to see where this goes next!
