lizshayne 's review for:

Dragon Pearl by Yoon Ha Lee
3.0

Hugos Reading.
It's interesting to me how much of Lee's writing is consistent between the impossibly intricate math of the Hexarchate and the mythological space corps of Dragon Pearl.
(I don't know what I was expecting, as they say.)
I quite liked what he did here and I enjoyed this book and probably would have liked it more if I wasn't trying to crunch through it to finish it for Hugo season. But also it's so unpredictable whether my brain wants to deal with middle grade and YA in any given week. This was already ahead because it was more the former than the latter and also I think, because it's Lee and because how familiar the writing felt, I missed Jedao.
