I only know basic Green Lantern lore, but N K Jemisin + space investigation? Sign. me. up. Jamal Campbell's art is gorgeous so far, as well!

Thank you, library holds queue, for letting me resume piecing together what in the unreliable narrator is actually happening in this space magic death cult rom-com-that-isn't.

Not loving the story so far - very "manic pixie dream girl: middle grades edition", and wow, I'm listening to the audiobook and it turns out John Ritter did not know how to pronounce saguaro... three different pronunciations so far, and two of them are inventions I've never even heard before.

A very lush world - loving the found family dynamics and the zahhaks (dragon/gryphon-esque feathery fliers, ahh I'm a sucker for a good magical creature, plus the descriptions of aerial maneuvers make my visual brain very happy)! I'm rooting for Razia and her safety, but I am having to do some suspension-of-belief handwaving about her identity successfully remaining secret.

Wish the audiobook was a little more accessible; the book itself encourages the reader to skip around non-chronologically, but the audiobook chapters are only numbered, listed without their relevant titles.

Rose is on page 179 of 448 of Gideon the Ninth (The Locked Tomb, #1)
So. Interesting! Gideon is an irreverent, mouthy, terrible-sense-of-humor-having delight of a narrator - these space goths continue to fascinate. I'm loving the un-anticipate-able turns in the story, and the contrast between the epic, high concept world and the characters' very contemporary personalities.

Huh. Goths in space, queer young adults with excessive personality, convoluted schemes - okay, I'm interested

Oh look, more post-apocalyptic worlds in my pandemic reading queue!

Trail of Lightning: the post-flood eastern coastline of North America runs from San Antonio to Sioux Falls

I think it's clear that Oyeyemi is not interested in writing traditional novels. Unnerving, meandering, somehow perched in an uncanny valley of magical realism where there's not quite enough 'magical' or enough 'realism' to be comfortable. I still want to know how it ends, though.
