![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Trashlands is atmospheric and detailed, transporting you to a world of scarcity. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.) (Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. But is it possible to choose a future for herself? Review When a reporter from a struggling city on the coast arrives in Trashlands, Coral is presented with an opportunity to change her life. In her stolen free hours, she does something that seems impossible in this place: Coral makes art. She’s stuck in Trashlands, a dump named for the strip club at its edge, where the local women dance for an endless loop of strangers and the club’s violent owner rules as unofficial mayor.Īmid the polluted landscape, Coral works desperately to save up enough to rescue her child from the recycling factories, where he is forced to work. In the region-wide junkyard that Appalachia has become, Coral is a “plucker,” pulling plastic from the rivers and woods. Global powers have agreed to not produce any new plastics, and what is left has become valuable: garbage is currency. SummaryĪ few generations from now, the coastlines of the continent have been redrawn by floods and tides. Keep reading this book review for my full thoughts. While this one is also a futuristic SF world, Trashlands dives deeply into character dynamics. As a fan of Road Out of Winter, when the publisher asked if I wanted to read Stine’s latest, it was an easy yes. ![]()
