Summary
In this Philip K. Dick Award-winning series, one woman’s unknowable destiny depends on a bold new step in human evolution.
In the wake of the apocalypse, Flora has come of age in a highly gendered post-plague society where females have become a precious, coveted, hunted, and endangered commodity. But Flora does not participate in the economy that trades in bodies. An anathema in a world that prizes procreation above all else, she is an outsider everywhere she goes, including the thriving all-female city of Shy.
Now navigating a blighted landscape, Flora, her friends, and a sullen young slave she adopts as her own child leave their oppressive pasts behind to find their place in the world. They seek refuge aboard a ship where gender is fluid, where the dynamic is uneasy, and where rumors flow of a bold new reproductive strategy.
When the promise of a miraculous hope for humanity’s future tears Flora’s makeshift family asunder, she must choose: protect the safe haven she’s built or risk everything to defy oppression, whatever its provenance.

Well written apocalyptic fiction with depth...
This has been one of those trilogies where you end up hoping it will turn into a series. I've read a lot of apocalyptic fiction featuring the usual tropes but the Road to Nowhere trilogy stands out due to the complex issues covered. It's been a very enlightening experience for me as I've read few novels written from the LGBTQ+ perspective.
Shakina Nayfack's performance is powerful and potent and she truly brings Flora to life.

Enjoyable but not as good as book 1&2
Enjoyable, but not nearly as good and engaging as the first two in the series.

Post apocalyptic trans-sexual coming of age?
How we got from a midwife having to dress as a man to stay safe in a world, that thanks to a virus, is now much less populated and mostly populated by men to both the book of Etta and Flora being basically about transsexualism I don't know...
