23/24

Bloodtide by Melvin Burgess.

YA Dystopian future novel based on the Volsung Saga. Bloodthirsty and brutal with Nordic characters who I found strangely out of place. Otherwise a good story that held me gripped, although I have already passed it on to a family member.

The Pesthouse by Jim Crace

Dystopian future novel with a romantic subplot. Franklin and Margaret strive to cross a regressed and dangerous America to get to the coast. Loved it and couldnt wait to find out what happened at the end. A keeper for me.
