In making this choice, Letta starts to wonder about Noa's intentions, and questions what is happening.Īs a self-proclaimed word nerd, I found the story fascinating. She knows she should turn the boy into the gavvers, but instead chooses to risk her life to help him. When Marlo, an injured Desecrator, shows up in the Wordsmith's shop looking for a place to hide, Letta's world is turned upside down. A group of rebels (called "Desecrators" by Noa) is staging pop-up events around Ark to remind people of art, poetry, and beauty, and Noa wants them stopped!
Noa believes words are corrupt, but not everyone agrees. When Benjamin doesn't return from a trip and is found dead, John Noa appoints her Wordsmith and tasks her with shortening the List by removing words from circulation. He's also guardian to Letta, a young girl whose parents left Ark when she was a young girl. He is charged with managing the List, a set of 500 words that residents can use to communicate, and with collecting stray words that are now banned from use.
