Horror 4/5
Gideon, cavalier, and Harrow, bone witch, are an unlikely pair to beat out the other eight houses and solve the puzzles set by the Emperor to become his immortal servants of the Resurrection. But it is this interesting interpersonal dynamic—as well as a phenomenally creative world—that make this action-adventure horror story sing.
Critiqued a novel for a friend, and gave my revised novel to a different friend–waiting for feedback. In the meantime, I have an editing project due to a client next week.
Nonfiction 3+/5
The authors explain how technology can save humankind from climate change, pollution, food shortage, depleted resources—virtually every problem we face. Although I don’t believe our governments have the political will to pull off the feats described, it is a fascinating thought experiment.
Now a quick turnaround on a friend’s novel, and back to finish my most recent editing job.
Writing Craft 3-/5
An eye-opening look at how what seem to be simple issues of writing craft have deeply embedded colonialist assumptions. A must-read for writers.
