someone please recommend a very short novel with prose so good it’ll make me sick. just read an acclaimed Hugo-winning work of #scifi and it was... real bad #books

@davidcrespo I think the Murderbot books by Martha Wells qualify?

I loved them for how they were written more than what they were about. But I can’t honestly promise it was the prose, vs e.g., how the main character is written through

Either way you should read them though. :)

@lkanies @davidcrespo I was hesitating to suggest them for much the same reason - I *adore* them, but I don’t know if they would qualify as great prose. (Or really what would, tbh)
