I love Claire North no matter what name she writes under she owns my heart pass it on

How can I have liked reading this so much while at the same time absolutely despising Bron? He is an unreliable, unlikable narrator, and that feels like it's exactly what Delany wanted him to be. Through all the changes he undergoes (hah) he just never seems to grow or change except from once, gloriously, where we Finally see a glimmer of self awareness, some hope for a future growth.
I really liked this book. It was thought provoking and brilliant and I feel a need to reread the Dispossessed just to keep both of them in the same space in my head

This, i feel, is the only way to do superhero stories in 2017: a lot of scrutiny on what a hero is and how "good" a system that supports vigilantes be, questions about gender and race, girls loving girls, and a criticism on fan-culture that goes beyond shaming teenage girls and looks into who profits from the manipulation of the public.
People in our world are often right about the cheese and we need to learn to listen to them
cant wait for the sequel

The fact that the two books I'm reading side by side right now is this and Steven Erikson's Gardens of the Moon is worrying but I'm still enjoying both books immensely.

The Parasol Protectorate is delightful and lovely and interesting and all the beautiful adjectives one can think of and then some.
