I had the privilege of being one of the book’s first readers and was absolutely blown away by it.Keep in mind, as you read that, that I don’t read YA as a rule. Enclave was, in fact, the first new-to-me, not-adult book I’d read in at least three decades (not counting Harry Potter–I do have kids, after all).

But if you don’t think you can trust my word on the awesomesauce that is this book, check out the trailer:

Nota bene: Some of you may remember that, for a while, I did some promotional work for Ms Aguirre. I have not done so for close to a year now, so I believe there is no conflict of interest in my recommending this book–or indeed, any of her work–to other readers.
