A Hope at the End of the World by Sarah Lark
4.0
2017 review:
Not as good as her other books, mostly because this was really short and her books are usually 600+ pages. I still enjoyed it, but I wish it was longer so she could've spent more time building up these characters and their lives.
I read this as a translated book, it was originally written in german but I read it in norwegian, and I could clearly tell that the translator wasn't the same as the one who translated her original New Zealand trilogy (which this one is a sequel to). In my opinion the old translator was a lot better. The new one had a tendency to leave some words in english, like "Mom" and "Dad" and "breeches", and it really disrupted the flow of the book.
Before reading:
If "James" is Jack and Gloria's son I will fling myself into the sun. In a good way.
