Something fun, lighthearted, and relaxing to end the year
Life is busy at the end of the year and I’m looking for something light and fun to close out the year. Preferably fiction but open to anything! Anyone have anything good?
“A real tour-de-force, a beautiful fable that is given legs by the author’s bravado use of the real (Google is in there, for instance, the actual campus) to sell us on a shadow world of the unreal and the speculative. Robin Sloan comes across as so bighearted, so in love with the world — the ancient world, the contemporary world — so in love with love, in love with friendship, in love with the idea that our technical abilities can serve as conduits for beauty, that the reader is swept along by his enthusiasm. It’s a lot of fun — but it’s also a powerful reading experience with a wonderful undeniability.” – Blip Magazine Review
