.ashleybsumerel reviews Veronica Roth's latest dystopian novel PosterGirl, which may leave you side-eyeing some of the smart technology in your home.
by Veronica Roth tells a story that doesn’t necessarily feel all that far-fetched. Roth is, of course, no stranger to dystopian fiction, andably proves how adept she is at writing in this genre. It’s a story that is far enough removed from our current reality that it feels like escapism, and yet it’s not difficult to imagine the world Roth has built in this haunting, beautifully written novel.
Sonya was young when the Delegation fell during the revolution and the current regime, known as the Triumvirate, came into power. Yet she was still imprisoned in the Aperture alongside the most valuable members of the Delegation. However, ten years later, Sonya gets one chance to get out of the Aperture for good when she’s offered a deal: find Grace Ward, a missing girl who was taken from her parents when the former regime was in power.
During Sonya’s journey to find Grace Ward, she realizes those questions are much more complicated than she once thought. Her search for Grace, it turns out, isn’t really about her own desire for freedom. Her journey leads her to discoveries she hadn’t imagined, and she finds out dark secrets about her own family as she begins to reconsider everything she ever believed. The result is an incredibly emotional story full of flawed characters and shocking twists.
That’s the case with a lot of the novel, unfortunately. Several details are glossed over, and there’s so much interesting backstory that isn’t as fleshed out as it could be. This feels largely due to the structure of the story. The current action takes place after the fall of the Delegation, and yet so much of what took place before is vital to the story.
