inspiring

5 stars

it is a very fun and interesting reading. it is a playful joy to read it and you can easily do it in one session. it also really inspired me narratively because both storytelling and the language are uniquely queer. i would love to find more quirky speculative fiction like this.

it is really interesting how I ended up being sympathetic with jodahs, my perspective towards the ooloi has changed a lot over the course of the story. some very interesting thoughts on biopolitics and human nature (the "human conflict" especially) and an entertaining read. as it has already been pointed out by other readers the gender essentialism is hard to endure sometimes. i think ooloi is a pretty cool gender though ^^

i love the ko sisters and i love everything they say and talk about and also the way they write and basically i love what's in this book.

what doesn't work for me is that it isn't really a book. it is more transferring a blog onto pages and well calling it a book lol.

which can work or not i guess. and it didn't really work for me this time.

it could and should have been a way smoother reading especially because im into everything they say and because the writing is super accessbile.

but i just was never fully engage and i dread finishing this sometimes.

now i need some cool fiction for detox.
