Feature: The Book of Koli by M.R. Carey

M.R. Carey, author of The Girl With All the Gifts and the excellent Felix Castor series (as Mike Carey) is back with a new trilogy! The first book, The Book of Koli, is out now from Orbit. Here's a bit about the book from Goodreads:

Beyond the walls of the small village of Mythen Rood lies an unrecognizable world. A world where overgrown forests are filled with choker trees and deadly vines and seeds that will kill you where you stand. And if they don't get you, one of the dangerous shunned men will.

Koli has lived in Mythen Rood his entire life. He knows the first rule of survival is that you don't venture beyond the walls.

What he doesn't know is - what happens when you aren't given a choice?

The first in a gripping new trilogy, The Book of Koli charts the journey of one unforgettable young boy struggling to find his place in a chilling post-apocalyptic world. Perfect for readers of Station Eleven and Annihilation.

This is one of those books that's either going to perfectly hit the spot for you right now or be completely inappropriate reading for the moment. For me it would be the former as I seem to be finding some solace and distraction in the whole "it could be worse" idea.
