Getting into Fonda Lee's Green Bone Trilogy was more difficult than expected. For my personal taste there was a little too much action and the characters weren't all that developed. However, after the first half of book one I started reading it primarily as a family saga and that worked out well, as most characters are defined primarily through their relationships with family members. So I am givin book two a chance right now.

Today I wanna recommend Jo Walton's novel Among Others. It explores how engaging with science-fiction and fantasy literature and its community can help you move foreward after a loss, all while providing you with an amazing list of classical science-fiction and fantasy for further reading. It's narrated by a traumatized teenage girl and the diary style can feel a little YA, but I found it extremely relatable, so please check it out. #bookrecommendation #scifibooks #sciencefiction #fantasy

Given that this is a space for geeky tech people, I am surprised that there isn't all that much science-fiction related stuff happening here. I've been browsing hashtags like #scifibooks and #sciencefiction but if there's an actual sf or sff community here I haven't found it yet.

Us invading this platform every other year and returning to  as soon as we get bored must be oh so irritating for actual mastodon users. This time I hope I'll stay.
