The cast is populated by lovable rebels, the most lovable (at least, to me) being the lounge-singer-turned-sonic-superhero Evelyn. I don’t read much dystopian fiction so I might be off base here but to me that all seems pretty darn creative! And the underground fires thing plays on some very visceral, culturally resonant fears. (I might have missed it, but what do people eat in Parole? Does the mutation make food irrelevant?) Water thus becomes a precious resource used as currency, and believe me when I say that it might be a good idea to have a drink beside you as you read. For reasons that I assumed were either governmental/deliberate or accidental but turn out to be more complicated (spoilers!), the city’s reserve of oil has also been ignited, meaning that fires are constantly burning underground. The setup for Chameleon Moon by RoAnna Sylver is that Parole, an American city of unspecified location, has been completely cut off from the rest of the country by government blockade in order to contain the chaos that ensued when a medication started giving everyone random and in some cases uncontrollable superpowers.
