Too Full of Scat: Sandymancer by David Edison
A girl and a god go travelling across a wasteland…and get nowhere, basically.
August DNFs
A new record – NINE DNFs this month.
Meep.
Softly Finding Your Place: Pluralities by Avi Silver
On one side, an alien ex-prince and his sentient spaceship bestie; on the other, a not-girl seeing visions and playing Stardew Valley.
Sunday Soupçons #23
Rereads of two long-time faves!
Not My Goddess: Inanna by Emily H. Wilson
Writing a book this bad about a goddess has to be some kind of blasphemy.
Baroque, Bizarre, Brilliant: The Archive Undying by Emma Mieko Candon
A disaster!queer on the run from AI gods = a confusing but stunning sci fi fever dream.
Fun and Frustrating: The Splinter in the Sky by Kemi Ashing-Giwa
When your sibling is kidnapped by the Empire, obviously you go after them.
Even when the Empire’s capital is a giant flying black rhombus with way too many assholes in it.
A Letdown in the Last Quarter: Translation State by Ann Leckie
Translation State comes out of the gate swinging, but an otherwise excellent sci-fi is let down by a pretty lacklustre ending.
Sunday Souçons #20
One book I hated; one I adored!
