Orenda (The Latitude Series) by T.S. Simons – Review by Francis O’Sullivan
Orenda by T.S. Simons
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Orenda is the second book in the Latitude Series, which follows on from Antipodes. I’d recommend reading the Antipodes series first for the full backstory of the world the stories are set in, but you could jump in at The 45th Parallel which begins this next generation of the story.
This is a post-apocalyptic science fiction series that draws on mythology and traditional beliefs from around the world to inform a rich and widespread world of connected communities. As the story passes to a new generation, there is a focus on rebuilding the world and making decisions that will set it on a positive course for the future.
I really enjoy this series, and Antipodes, for the way it takes readers to all kinds of interesting places. The author describes these places in great and loving detail, which transports the reader to the place! In Orenda, it’s particularly fun discovering new places through Gio’s eyes who hasn’t spent his life travelling as Caitlin has.
This book gets five stars from me! I’m looking forward to reading more from this world.
