Año 2033. Tras una guerra nuclear devastadora, amplias zonas del mundo han quedado sepultadas bajo escombros y cenizas debido a la radiación. También Moscú se ha transformado en una ciudad fantasma. Los supervivientes se han refugiado bajo tierra, en la red del metro. En cada una de las estaciones, convertidas en pequeñas ciudades Estado, sus habitantes se agrupan en torno a las más diversas ideologías, religiones o movidos por un único objetivo: impedir una invasión de las criaturas mutantes del exterior.
Artyom, un joven soldado, será elegido para penetrar en el corazón del Metro hasta la legendaria Polis y alertar a todos del peligro que acecha a la estación de la que procede, la VDNKh, y a toda la red metropolitana. De él dependerá el futuro de su hogar, del Metro y puede que de toda la humanidad.
De lo mejor que he leído en el genero, realmente atrapante, crea una atmosfera asfixiante en todo momento.
I decided to read this as I was interested in the dark atmosphere and intriging world. And in that aspect the book definitely delivered. The muscovy Metro is split into different factions with internal conflicts determining the actions of their leaders thus shaping the whole Metro. Unfortunately there are regular crises demanding cooperation of conflicting factions ... what a set up!
The introduction to the mc was also grabbing my attention. However, to establish the factions the mc has to at least pass them by which leads to a drawn out story. In my opinion it sometimes feels like the author prioritised showing of this cool world instead of writing a tense story. And I thought some scenes were really weird but that might just be me. However there were moments which stayed in my head and I really appreciated. And towards the end the book feels a bit like …

Well if you're interested in the world you should definitely think about picking this up! Especially if you want an adventure discovering a post-apocalyptic Metro.
The concept of humanity taking refuge in a metro in a post nuclear war world is truly interesting. However the story built into it was medicore at best. More or less random "plot twists".
