It’s one month until THE CITY OF FACTORIES goes live. I know as an author, I am not supposed to read reviews but as a debut author, I couldn’t help it. These are my favorites so far. ARCs are still available until the 12th of November on NetGalley. Paperback, ebook and audiobooks are available.

Great visual reminder that despite all the noise and chaos, we're all in this together. All on this earth living our fragile interconnected lives. And we have to keep finding better ways to coexist, as hard as it may seem sometimes.
