He loves making these fake forests look like they are changing seasons.
He builds these forests out of scrap metal, plastic, and lights. He builds the best trees in the steel cities. The only trees are the steel and plastic trees, and these are the trees that Banyan builds.Ģ. So we have towns that are devoid of trees, grass, crops, plants. It gets in eyes and mouths.īecause there are no trees, everything is made of metal. The dust is in the air, in the sky, all over everything. Locusts came and ate everything, including the trees and crops. It made the ocean tides different and messed up all kinds of stuff on the earth. After this, the sun came back, but the moon was all wonky and took up much more space in the sky ( see there on the cover? ). Something like a hundred years ago or maybe a little more, The Darkness came. There is no blog post that is long enough for me to get how wordy I want to get.
I’m completely being my real self right now. I cannot stress to you exactly how ON THE MONEY I was in terms of making Rootless my most anticipated.
My Thoughts : Earlier this fall, I listed Rootless by Chris Howard as my most anticipated book to read this fall. As they race towards a promised land that might only be a myth, Banyan makes shocking discoveries about his family, his past, and how far people will go to bring back the trees. Unsure of whom to trust, he’s forced to make an uneasy alliance with Alpha, an alluring, dangerous pirate with an agenda of her own. Those who make it past the pirates and poachers can’t escape the locusts-the locusts that now feed on human flesh.īut Banyan isn’t the only one looking for the trees, and he’s running out of time. Įverything changes when Banyan meets a woman with a strange tattoo-a clue to the whereabouts of the last living trees on earth, and he sets off across a wasteland from which few return. But that was before his father was taken. Although Banyan’s never seen a real tree-they were destroyed more than a century ago-his father used to tell him stories about the Old World. Using scrap metal and salvaged junk, he creates forests for rich patrons who seek a reprieve from the desolate landscape.
