Zero was a fantastic read! It put to paper a hint of how a world could be in which there was an infamous Wall. You know, the one Trump is talking about, the one our government is currently shut down over. What I really like about this book is how Whaler mixes politics with fantasy and creates a world that benefits everyone. This book definitely makes you think deeply. The characters were strong, the plot was well-developed, and the history was rich. For an excellent read, I would definitely recommend reading Zero and all other books by Jacob Whaler.
