The Wall by Gautam Bhatia

5.0

A great first book to what will be an exceptional series.

From the epilogue, I was hooked on the story of Mithila as she struggles to try and cross the Wall whilst dealing with some very intense opposition from within her city. Following her and her friends as they longed for freedom was so interesting, with the inclusion of songs and writings crafted for the story this book was excellently written. The book was well paced and I liked how the tension built all the way through the story, and the ending certainly has me intrigued as to what will happen in the second book because it was very ominous!

I simply adored Mithila, I found her a wonderful and driven protagonist who learned that the way she went about things was not always right and had to give up so much in pursuit of a life beyond the Wall. Her companions in the struggle too were intricately created and I look forward to seeing what happens to them all in the sequel because they all still have some growing to do but I'm not sure how it's going to pan out after the events of this book.

Just am incredibly well written book. I can't wait to read more of this series!
