Among Others by Jo Walton
"The narrator takes a while to introduce herself, so much so that I thought there was a shift between the prologue and the starting chapters. No, the twin sisters have the same diminutive of their name. Anyway Morwenna went to social services to get a" Read more of this review »

“The evening city lay decrepit and silent under an incessantly seething pink sky. A sky that hung overhead like a field of bloody cotton candy, bisected by the lightning of constantly raging storms. Every once in a while thunder rolled through the streets, shaking the buildings. This was life after the last Black Rain.”
Costi Gurgu, Pink Corrosion
