Comment:

May 2024 Series Starter book club pick Since this book won the Hugo for best Sci Fi, I was really surprised how much this felt like fantasy. Clearly, it occupies that middle ground of speculative fiction. It dragged a little at the beginning for me, but by about halfway I couldn't put it down - and the last 50 pages or so change everything. I IMMEDIATELY had to know what happens in the next two books in the series. Readers should note that this book leaves you at a cliffhanger, so be ready to read the whole series. Content Warnings for the Book: Child death, Moderate to Graphic sexual content, light non-human cannibalism

Quotations

  • Who misses what they have never, ever even imagined?
  • "I will tear the whole world apart if they ever hurt us again.'' But we would still be hurt, she thinks.
  • This is why she hates Alabaster: not because he is more powerful, not even because he is crazy, but because he refuses to allow her any of the polite fictions and unspoken truths that have kept her comfortable, and safe, for years.
  • But what is important is that you know it was not all terrible. There was peace in long stretches, between each crisis. A chance to cool and solidify before the grind resumed.
