A review by storyonlystory
The Drowned Cities by Paolo Bacigalupi

4.0

Not Bacigalupi's best but still a good story worth reading. I love a book in which the main characters aren't just more Mary Sues and chosen ones for which Deus ex machina never fails. Bacigalupi's characters are always great and make any story worth the read despite plot. Not that the plot isn't good too!

I like that there is never a storybook happy ending in these tales.

I just wish this book had explained how Tool ends up where he ends up in another book. Oh well.
