The Interrogation of Ashala Wolf by Ambelin Kwaymullina
3.0
this is an interesting mix of dystopia and fantasy that’s based in Palyku (an aboriginal people of Australia) mythology.
(again, I’m not a dystopian person; this is literally me on the hunt for interesting, accessible, diverse dystopian novels that contain age-appropriate content for the kiddos, so maybe take the 3 stars as my personal enjoyment of this and give this a 3.5 or 4 for the kids)
it’s a narrative that’s told reverse-ish chronological order, with some flashbacks in the middle.
I think it has pretty unique fantasy elements that are framed by the typical dystopian “rules.”
The tone of it is very hopeful compared to other novels in the genre.
