Ricki Wilde has many talents, but being a Wilde isn't one of them. As the impulsive, artistic daughter of a powerful Atlanta dynasty, she's the opposite of her famous socialite sisters. Where they're long-stemmed roses, she's a dandelion: an adorable bloom that's actually a weed, born to float wherever the wind blows. In her bones, Ricki knows that somewhere, a different, more exciting life awaits her. When regal nonagenarian, Ms. Della, invites her to rent the bottom floor of her Harlem brownstone, Ricki jumps at the chance for a fresh beginning.

Tamsyn Muir’s Gideon the Ninth unveils a solar system of swordplay, cut-throat politics, and lesbian necromancers. Her characters leap out of the audio, as skillfully animated as arcane revenants. The result is a heart-pounding epic science fantasy. Brought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse.

Fun. Not art, very gory, but 100% fun.

great story
Revisado: 04-07-24
holy shit, the entire plot of this book is so engaging, from the very beginning I was eager to see what happens next. all characters, incl sides were fleshed out and the development occurred at a pace where it was subtly noticeable, but IT WAS THERE which I really appreciate because I do not enjoy being spoonfed by writers. THE NARRATION was absolutely out of this world - so consistent throughout. every character had a distinct voice.

The Einstein Intersection won the Nebula Award for best science fiction novel of 1967. The surface story tells of the problems a member of an alien race, Lo Lobey, has assimilating the mythology of Earth, where his kind have settled among the leftover artifacts of humanity. The deeper tale concerns, however, the way those who are "different" must deal with the dominant cultural ideology. The tale follows Lobey's mythic quest for his lost love, Friza. In luminous and hallucinated language, it explores what new myths might emerge from the detritus of the human world....

Alien confusion over humanity's detritus
- De Michael G Kurilla en 09-12-20
sci-fi with such great prose
Revisado: 12-27-23
it was a bit difficult to follow at first (but that may be because I'm not really used to audiobooks), but the story progressed quickly enough that my attention was grabbed! i loved following Lo Lobey on his journey of self-discovery - in that sense it is a coming-of-age and I'd recommend for teens (13+).
there is an ongoing theme of mythology in the story that pops up sometimes, that surprised me or made me laugh. the author has also cast this idea of mythology into the future, by writing my favourite character as an influencer basically. an ig gworl. they only make an appearance in the final chapters though. it was quite a ride! the scene of Lobey's first little solo battle was written almost like poetry! thank you to Stefan for reading this so well.

Area X has been cut off from the rest of the continent for decades. Nature has reclaimed the last vestiges of human civilisation. This is the twelfth expedition. Their group is made up of four women: An anthropologist; a surveyor; a psychologist, the de facto leader; and our narrator, a biologist. Their mission is to map the terrain and collect specimens; to record all their observations, scientific and otherwise, of their surroundings and of one another; and, above all, to avoid being contaminated by Area X itself.

loved it from start to finish. one might find it a tedious read (long descriptors and flashbacks) but it is the first book in the series and presents itself as an adequate world builder. my favourite part was the narrator's encounter with (from a literary standpoint) what could be described as the story's "antagonist" - literary surrealism at its finest. it doesn't answer all the questions you would encounter during the reading, but it does give you nuggets to come up with your own theories.
