roadtripreader 's review for:
Lullaby for a Lost World
by Aliette de Bodard
Short Story Saturday
Recently, I've been reading books that have centered around the "spirits or souls" left behind after death. This book weaves the feeling of hopelessness, of being stuck and immobile through no fault of your own and the growing desperation to move and be heard.
It reminded me of sleep paralysis, and the feelings of pushing through thick air above me in those movements of confusion and terror at the idea of not waking up.
Beautiful prose, melancholy atmosphere.
