The Artful is a Dystopian book set in New York in 2025. People are allergic to the sun. Only the wealthy are doing well—shocker—and Twist and Dodger steal meds from the rich to give to the poor.This was a very enjoyable read. I liked the male characterization, and there was something different about the book that I can’t quite put my finger on. The tone, maybe? Good different, not bad different. It was also reading a dystopian from the perspective of male characters, since usually in the dystopians I read, the MC is a girl.The book never made me angry, I found the plot intriguing, and while initially there were a couple times when I thought, “Get on with it already,” it picked up.When I first dove in, I wasn’t completely clear on how Dodger and Twist were…you know, Dodger and Twist, but that cleared itself up and was done in a satisfying way.Definitely looking forward to seeing what happens next in this series!P.S. Beautiful cover!!!
