Amid transitioning to working from home amid the Great Slowdown that’s affected us all, I’ve been maintaining my creative output as best I can, while also taking a more active interest in gardening and renovating/restoring my 140-year-old house.

An interesting and timely premise. I think the novella format is too short to adequately explore the storyline and the characters’ challenges though.

I like alternate history and engaging stories. River of Teeth delivers both in spades. That this storyline is based on something that might have come true if different decisions were made, makes it all the more engaging - who wouldn’t want to rea ...more
