We Speak Through The Mountain by Premee Mohamed, 143 pages
In this sequel to Annual Migration of Clouds, protagonist Reid has made it to the safe bubble of Howse University, despite her lifelong battle with a horrendous virus and almost losing her leg to a wild boar. At the university she finds safety, shelter, and just about anything she could want — except answers. As she keeps pressing to learn more about what caused the environmental destruction of her hometown, and the virus that's affecting so many of its residents, Reid rapidly finds herself on the wrong side of the university authorities.
This was an excellent sequel to a book I wish I'd read first. This was recommended to me and I picked it up without realizing it was a sequel. Someday I'll go back and read the first book, but I really wish I'd done a bit of homework and read that one first. Because it's a fascinating world Mohamed has created, full of thought-provoking questions about privilege and how it can and should be wielded.
