Piper at the Gates of Dusk is rich in action, intrigue and politics. There is a desperate attempt to save the only world they now have and the only world the young people have ever known. Patrick Ness has a sharp eye for teenage fears and hopes. His teen-aged protagonists struggle to be heard over overbearing adults who brush them off as too young to have valid solutions to the problems presented. I raced through this book with its never ending action and intrigue. With themes of activism, social justice, racism, disability and gender dysphoria Piper at the Gates of Dusk is a book for our times. * theburgeoningbookshelf via instagram *
