‘Flood and Fire’ is a fantastic sequel to ‘Flood Child’ and in some ways, is better than its prequel. For instance, superstitions that were believed by the raiders what role intellectuals will play in the future and the destruction of humanity.
On the surface, it portrayed a quest that was driven by a trio of young adults, but on a deeper level, many themes were explored. Overall, I really enjoyed ‘Flood and Fire’. However, I also recognise that the use of colloquial speech may be a reference to the way of speech in different British counties. This is probably the main reason why PSAI became my favourite character- because it was easier for my brain to digest its dialogue. Zeph’s and Lilly’s colloquial speech- While their way of speech is part of their characterisation, like the prequel, I found it difficult to read at times. It makes the reader feel like they are in a secret of some sort. PSAI- By far, PSAI is my favourite character! Its grumpiness and sarcasm are delightful especially when what it talks about and refers to is something the audience would understand. On a serious note, it also stresses the preservation of knowledge for future generations. When one considers how our ancestors might be thinking about us when uncovering parts of our past and mispronouncing it, it is also humorous. For instance, I like how the motorway M11 was referred to as Emelevun. We also see Lilly and Lexy mature through their quest of returning to London and saving PSAI.Ĭlever references- There were a few references that allude to what we have in the present day. Readers learn more about Zeph’s character development, following his ascension to Family Boss of Angel Isling. The story is told from Lilly’s and Zeph’s alternating perspectives. Anyways, let us get on with the review!įast-paced and full of adventure- A lot happens in this novel. This is possibly because both novels are alike. I couldn’t stop thinking about this book while I was reading Philip Reeve’s ‘Mortal Engines’ series.
Luckily, online shopping is still possible, and I was able to acquire my second-hand copy. Due to the ongoing pandemic, I was unable to check this book out in the library.
