A Great Pre Apocolapse Road Novel

Revisado: 06-30-22

Following a really chill Big Lebowski type protagonist, if the big Lebowski had sometimes commited murder or kidnapping and such. The language is artful, keeps within the confines of the voice or the character. Highly recommend.

A strange near future sci fi myatery novel.

Revisado: 06-01-22

It might not be my normal cup of tea, and I doubt a 50 plus white male reader is the demographic they were expecting, but I felt the premise and a few world building aspects of this story were excellent. I mostly lile a near future post apocolypse story that was optomistic. We survive a near end of the world in the near future. That was refreshing. Loved the tone and consiatancy of voice, there was all that internal identity conflict the regualr audience ans likely the author craves but annoys me but it didnt detract from the action and furthered character developement instead of being trite drivle. great job. will correct spelling on my computer when I get home.

whiny and endlessly self absorbed

Revisado: 01-26-22

yup. whiny. I would be cute and say there is only a tempest in a teapot for conflict but that might giving this more dramatic tension then it deserves. it is a contrived future where self reflection and melodrama are professions. Yes it I gave it three because I recognize it is well written and I am not its intended audience but I suscribe to a universal 3 Cs for stories. Character and in this I was more emotionally invested in the robot. Conflict which was all internal and unappealing. Consequesces of which there were none. i do not reccomend.

thoroughly enjoyable

if you liked her first book in those world you not be disappointed. I am not the target audience for this, most definitely not, but it is impossible not to recognize the masterful story telling.

this is so much more than a post apocalypse sf horror tale set in a native american community. this is the story of this native community which is so beautifully told, so richly laid out you were rooting for the survival of their culture. well done. such an enjoyable read and listen.

Great Story Telling, but, NOT WOKE

Revisado: 07-15-21

I read this as I read Tarzan for historical genre background. I enjoyed both but, massive trigger warning here this was written for white males in the early 20th century. Knowing that, in craft or driving narratives and in some scene setting worth it for me.

packed, dense, poignant

Revisado: 04-09-21

I read this because I saw it on the 2021 Nebula Nominees for Novella along side one of.my favorite books Ring Shout. i am thoroughly impressed. This story reads quick with details, with major and minor historical details, details full of emotional weight. The novella is heavy in the hippie sense, while the story is not complicated, the world which is our world is complex. This is what Urban Fantasy should be where the world building is more research than invention. This is a great novella period, but for what it adds to the genre of speculative fiction and urban fantasy i would say it should not be missed.

Cheated

Revisado: 04-05-21

I have rarely been as disappointed with a series as I was with this one. Where it showed promise, characters I liked and admired, villains I despised and feared, it threw all of that away on a cheap.time travel alternate world ending that made my emotional investments moot. I cannot recommend this book to anyone.
