Lost Ark Dreaming by Suyi Davies Okungbowa

adventurous challenging dark emotional hopeful tense fast-paced

4.0

I have to give it to Netgalley because without them I would most likely NEVER have known about this author, Suyi Davies Okungbowa, nor be exposed to any of his writings. With that being said, this sci-fi, dystopian, post apocalyptic novella by Suyi was a great and quick read. The story involves three main characters who live and work within different levels of towers and hierarchy, and they quickly realize that their status means nothing when their superiors ultimately think little of their lives. The three unlikely characters work together to save their nation living in towers, and they need to draw upon the buried unknown past. 

This short novella is a complete story that fully engulfs you into the world created by Suyi Davies Okungbowa. He did an excellent job creating a great flow, and built a world and it's history/mythology. The ending made me frustrated, but I will admit, I found myself invested into the characters in the short time it took to read this novella. 

Thank you to Netgalley, Tor Publishing and Suyi Davies Okungbowa for allowing me to read this ARC for a review.
