It seemed so...alive? <i>The Book Thief</i> and <i>Daughter of Smoke & Bone</i> have pheonominal settings as well.

(Medieval England doesn't count, of course! =P) With respect to others, making modern-day UK synonymous to "outside of the US" isn't very adventurous. Then again, I shouldn't talk . . . All the books on my own <a href="http://shreddedcheddar.blogspot.com/2016/07/jmj-teaser-two-read-other-two-sentence.html" rel="nofollow">Top 10 for the week</a> are set in a single other country: the Philippines!

And haha I'm one of those ones kind of looking at Stolen skeptically with it's outback portrayal. It wasn't that the claustrophobia aspect was wrong, just how hot it was. Like it honestly wasn't portrayed as hot enough. *shrugs* I'm still glad you liked the story though!CG @ Paper Furyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14954615708675952085noreply@blogger.com
