I’ve got something new up at Girls in Capes!

Today’s review is for the YA novel THE WALLED CITY by Ryan Graudin, which follows three teens — Dai, Jin, and Mei Yee — who live in the eponymous walled city of Hak Nam.

While I absolutely loved this book, it took me three months (!) to actually finish reading it — which, for me, is an amazingly long time.  It’s a beautiful book, and heart-breakingly difficult.

But you can read all about that over at GiC.  An excerpt:

When I originally picked up The Walled City and read the back, I assumed it was a typical (and for me, boring) YA dystopian novel set in a Chinese or Chinese-inspired futuristic setting.

Spoiler alert: it’s not.
