Rosewater

Rosewater by Tade Thompson is another book I am meaning to finish. I have read to the 100 page mark, and I am reading to pick the book back up again.

It is a the start of a sci-fi story about Rosewater, a town that sits on the edge of a biodome. The various townspeople with their different personalities speculate about the healing powers that the biodome has to offer.

Kaaro is a government agent with a criminal past. He is a sensitive with the ability to navigate the psychic space of the biodome, but then something in the biodome begins killing other sensitive.

In an effort to prevent a horrifying future, Kaaro defies his masters to find the solution that they are unable to with their set way of doing things.

There are three books in the series starting with Rosewater, The Rosewater Insurrection is second, and The Rosewater Redemption is third.

Tade Thompson is a British psychiatrist and writer of Yoruba descent. Rosewater has won the Nommo Award, and an Arthur C. Clarke Award.
