Another Waidner, another total headspinner that I devour in one sitting, you know how it is.
Some capital T Themes in this one that allow themselves to be dealt with through sci fi tropes in a way that stops them feeling pretentious and makes sure the tropes are interesting rather than tired.
This requires a lot less just going with it and accepting you feel lost than SKG which I think benefits it, thought it means that where the ending is SKG’s strongest moment, it feels a tiny bit flimsy for a moment in CFDSM.
To be clear, though, this is an excellent excellent book. I saw Isabel talk about it and they were immense. Very excited for whatever they do next now they’re with a nice big publishing house.
