Status Updates From El Reino

The way this book is told feels so refreshing to me. It feels like a beautiful mix of what is considered "literary" and what is considered "genre" fiction, and that is just right up my alley. To heck with the publishing boxes!!!

(Not actually. But I do love it when authors can explore outside the bounds of genre, something that is finally becoming more common in trad publishing, huzzah!)

Sci-fi murder mystery told through multiple POVs, including transcripts? YES PLZ. Not to mention the dissection of entertainment culture and its costs.

DNF'd I think if I had read this years ago before all the new sci-fi things have been coming out I would have been so interested but now its just not working for me. :(

I forgot how unsettling this one is...especially now

WAITTTTTT
HIGHKEY THIS IS CINDER AND KAI IN AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE BUT SHES A PRINCESS ANDROID AND HE'S THE MECHANIC (basically) HELLOOOOO???!!!

This is everything I could ever want in a book
Murder mystery, sci fi, dystopian. Lots of lies and jumps from future to past. Come on now
