Prophet Song by Paul Lynch

5.0

Hoo boy. This is the kind of book that you pick up and start reading and can't put down and wish you could. Extremely well-written, and at the same time hard to read because it just feels all too familiar and plausible. I imagine many people won't want to read it, but if you've got a tolerance for the dark side in your reading and are a fan of experiencing alternate futures, this one is not to miss. While it offers a distinctive take on the future, Prophet Song feels like one of the most lyrically dark and cautionary dystopian novels to hit the shelves since Cormac McCarthy’s The Road. Highly recommended.
