The Sorcerer of the Wildeeps by Kai Ashante Wilson
4.0
This is a strange, fascinating book that is meant to read like documents from another world entirely. The writing style is a synthesis of ye olden times high brow and contemporary slang, which only adds to the sense that these words originate from a world parallel to our own.
It's a novella, so be prepared for an experimental narrative structure and ambiguous ending. Your enjoyment of it will largely hinge on how well you like the characters and the world as not much happens in the first 3/4. I liked the characters very much, and found the glimpses into this scientific magic system fascinating.
All in all, a dreamy and engaging read. Would definitely be down for more set in this uncanny universe.
