Notes from the Burning Age by Claire North
3.0
As a huge fan of Claire North, I was super excited to read her newest novel. Set in a future, post-apocalyptic age, this is the story of Kadri, AKA Ven who ends up working for The Brotherhood, a faction who wishes to bring back the knowledge if the past deemed heretical by The Temple. Knowledge that includes bioweapons, tanks, and other weapons of war. The Council is the political arm that tries to hold everything in balance. But humans rarely change and power is everything.
Although this is a wonderfully written commentary on the trajectory our current political and socio-economic is on and speculates if we will ever learn from our carelessness, I was disappointed that it contained none of the supernatural elements that I have grown to love in Claire North’s writings. However, as a post-apocalyptic political thriller, she nailed it.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this free digital advanced reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review.
3-1/2 stars
