A review by belle_fiction
Adamtine by Hannah Berry
3.0
3.5 stars
Overall, I found this story pretty bemusing. I felt compelled to read it despite not being completely sure where the story was heading at times. Hannah Berry's level of storytelling is certainly captivating but I'm not so sure about the final execution; it left me scratching my head.
However, the artwork was fantastic; I felt as though I was alongside these characters, occupying the same abandoned train and found myself asking the same questions - do any of the phones work? Are we the only ones here? Is it all just a game?
I will definitely re-read it again; other reviewers have pointed out that sometimes it takes a couple of reads to fully understand and make sense of Berry's story. Hopefully second time around, I'll have that eureka moment!
