FloodWorld by Tom Huddleston

The scary thing about this book is that it could come true! It's set in a world where the sea has risen and much of London and the rest of the world has flooded. This of course brings out the worst in people (and sometimes the best too...)

It wasn't badly written, but I didn't end up enjoying it immensely since the ending was quite unsatisfying for a children's book.

I read kids books for the happy endings and last minute save the world kind of endings, but this didn't give me any of that satisfaction.

In his debut novel, Tom Huddleston introduces the dystopian world of Floodworld, and more specifically the characters Kara and Joe, who are forced to go on the run when a mysterious map falls into their possession. I really liked Kara and her strength as a character was definitely my favourite thing about the book, and I loved the side that her relationship with Joe brought out in her as well. I also found the idea of this world in itself an interesting one to explore. However, I found the specifics of the worldbuilding confusing and I didn`t feel all that invested in the plot as a result. Overall, this really just wasn`t for me but I do think it might appeal to people that enjoy dystopian narratives more than I do! 3/5
