More Bleak than I Expected

4 stars

Despite being set in an alternate history, this book really felt like an extremely realistic depiction of everything going on with the left these days. It's pretty brutal and sad, honestly. I really wanted it to end on some utopian note, but it ends in an extremely probable way instead. Maybe that's more important.

Too Much Fun

5 stars

I love this series, or at least the first 5 books I've read so far. Somehow it never takes itself too seriously, while simultaneously also being pretty heartwarming and dramatic at the same time. The premise plays out exactly as amusingly as you might imagine.

"… And that's how we got here," Raul concludes, his voice steady but tired. Luna groans and rubs her temples. "That's the kind of transitional, expository scene I would have glossed over with a lazy time skip if I was still writing the book."

Ok, I can't finish this book... I hate to DNF stuff, and I won't rate/review books I haven't actually read fully, but I've lost all interest at this point. I was at the 40% mark.

Content warning An unholy trifecta of misogyny, racism, and homophobia?

You want to walk into that funeral and have every dude in that room whip their head around and say, 'God-damn them is some fine-ass titties' ... You want every girl in that place to be murderous with jealous rage. Like, I got to get my man outta here before he sees that, and leaves my skinny ass."

— Futuristic violence and fancy suits by David Wong (Page 265)

This is Tre, the stylist who acts/dresses flamboyantly gay even though he isn't, so that he can grope his clients with impunity. He is a good guy, who was hired by the other good guys to dress the main character Zoey, who is traumatized from SA in her past.

This book has had a lot of like ambient level troubling shit so far, but then I got to this interaction and... I mean, am I being overly sensitive?
