A review by constant2m
The Heights of Perdition by C.S. Johnson

5.0

The premise of this book reminded me of Firefly, but with slightly younger lead characters. It was dystopian, but the world seemed more familiar than a lot of the dystopia I've read. I initially laughed when I heard the past they were trying not to fall back into was capitalism, but it's a plausible take on what the USA could look like if moved away from capitalism as many in our country are currently trying to do. Bravo for attempting something so similar and also so foreign to our current political climate. I liked Aeris and Exton individually, flaws and all, but I wasn't the biggest fan of their romance. It seemed that they were drawn to the difference in each other, but they didn't really take the time (or have the time) to get to know each other. That aside, I found the entire story compelling and entertaining. And the narration was superb.

I received a free audiobook from the author and have reviewed it willingly.
