Reviews: Ruby City (1)
“A rollercoaster of a story”
(Hardback)
19 year old Ruby was in an accident and has amnesia. The overseer of Diamond City has assumed the role of friend, guardian, and beneficiary while Ruby attends the Royal Academy studys' history, eats pizza, and dreams of playing fastball!
One day, as Ruby is devouring her daily dose of pizza, another student suggests Ruby looks just like the long absent Optimum...
Later that day, when the leader of Emerald City is paying his routine visit to Diamond City, Ruby gets herself in a heap of trouble and flees with her friends on a mission to discover her past... first stop? Two for Pizza
My goodness, what a fever dream that ending was!! Ruby's thoughts are so chaotic come the end, I wasn't sure whether I was coming or going. Astrid was able to seamlessly move between complex storylines, societal structures, and the FMC's traumatised and fragmented thoughts with epic skill. The conclusion is bittersweet, and I'm still not sure if it actually happened??
How long until Opal City???
