Subterranean railway fantasy, Name that Book (kesäkuu 2012)

Kirja-arvosteluja

I liked this book. I stuck with audio only this time. My only complaint is that the 'idea' kind of just trailed off to the small puff of smoke at the end. I may try the ebook next time. Maybe it will make more of an impact.

A high two stars for this one. The pace finally picks up the way I had been hoping for about 75% of the way through, and then I had to finish the rest in one sitting. And that was pretty good! But it's a *slog* to get there, with tons of interesting ideas poetically over-described for (what felt like) hundreds of pages. I get the impression everything was the author's darling she couldn't bear to cut, and you have to read a book like that to realize why writers have to cut so much of the good stuff.

There are dozens of characters who I frequently couldn't keep straight, and they all have mythologically significant names. A good sprinkling of bi and gay characters.

I cared more about Severin before we got to the final few chapters; the ending felt a little cheap. When it still looked like she had died horribly and tragically young, instead of turning into a disembodied omniscient being. And how did Percy learn all that stuff about callowhales anyway---just further scientific advancements, since it's like 40 years after the main action? And no, Severin's fate isn't particularly ambiguous---the author is clearly putting her finger on the scale for one reading, while also technically leaving it "open to interpretation." Whatever, man.

Probably would make a neat film, with the advantage that you wouldn't have to read all the damn descriptions. I would also read the book Valente has set up for 6 generations down the line, with genetic and social changes and when the averted colonial-powers conflict finally hits, but I don't think I trust Valente with story-via-documents anymore.

Not my normal fare. I tried to get into it but I couldn't do it. While I understand the parallels made to "the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy", it lacked the wit of Douglas Adams and was more like ChatGPT on cocaine.

Honestly….uuugh. This is essentially the 2017 move Mother. Not as well executed, not as creative. I’m annoyed. The elements that were brought in half way were so underused.
