OLDER FICTION
Hager, Mandy

Resurrection

(4) YA Blood of the Lamb series. Maryam returns to her Australasian island home with medicine she hopes will unseat the corrupt theocracy whose rule she fled in the trilogy's first book. This series-closer continues to tackle themes of colonialism, racism, and exploitation against the backdrop of a near-future dystopia rocked by environmental disaster. Purple prose sometimes distorts emotional impact, but depth of theme, character, and setting carry the book.
