I just wasn't connecting with this book at all, maybe I'll try rereading it another time.
this book was so fucking WEIRD but so COOL. wasn’t a fan of everything that happened, seeing as the characters are literally children they made some real dumbass choices lol, but the world building was just so unique and i literally never knew where the story was going next.

"The flavor of her mouth ignites my heart; her warmth fills me. I am lost and found and lost again. I move my arms to embrace her, and her hands pull me in so hard, it's like she's trying to make us one."
Escaping Exodus by Nicky Drayden was my tenth #23in23 read & it was bloody epic!
Humans live inside of these massive space-faring beasts, used as generation ships, in a matriarchal society where large poly families cohabitate & women hold the highest of positions.
Escaping Exodus is a coming-of-age sci-fi that blends weird fiction with dark humor, painful emotions, and a hopeful love story. Not to mention it's queer, there's political intrigue, rebellion, visceral worldbuilding, tentacle-cooches & other delightful fever-dream weirdness!
It's like a super gnarly adult version of The Magic School Bus & I fucking loved it! What a wild ride!
CW: Body horror, racism, slavery, violence, a whole lot of vomit & tentacle sex.

I tried, I really tried but I just didn't care about any of the characters nor did I care about the plot.

Such a fun story, weird, but it had me in a chokehold for the two days I read it. It feels like it should be longer given how many things happen in this story, but I can forgive because it was so engaging to read.
