The Drowned Cities was reviewed by Adi Robertson of The Verge, who wrote that the book "stands out as one of the most brutal pieces of YA fiction in recent years". According to Robertson, the book takes place in a realistic post-apocalyptic universe, and while the book takes on the theme of corrupting power, it is "almost uplifting".[2]
