The Electric Kingdom follows Nico and Kit, a teenager and a kid, throughout the course of their different journeys through a disease-ravaged and empty America. It explores the concept of found family, what to do when there is nothing left, and how different people deal with grief in different ways.

I enjoyed The Electric Kingdom a lot! I thought the premise is so interesting and different from the typical YA plot, and that made me love it even more. It is sci-fi with some dystopian elements, and that led to some fascinating aspects.
-
Even though the main focus seemed to be on each character’s individual growth, there was still some excellent found family that juts made me want to smile every time!
-
Overall, I enjoyed this book, and would recommend it for fans of David Arnold’s other works and sci-fi as a whole.
-
CWs- gore, death, animal death, grief, sexual assault(implied)
