The Lies of the Ajungo

THE LIES OF THE AJUNGO is a novella that feels like one of those typical dystopian YA stories where shock turns out they were lying to us all along but the protagonist single-handedly destroys the enemy because of some vague superpowers they've gained along the way that make them the obvious chosen one.

Though those tropes are executed quite well here (this is no YA drivel), I'm still not especially fond of them. I still thought it was a decent read, however. The book has an excellent atmosphere and a cute coming-of-age feeling plot line.

DISCLAIMER: I received an advanced reading copy of this in exchange for an honest review.
