Blackfish City
by Sam J. Miller
4.3/5
"Whatever she had come to Qaanaaq to accomplish, her face gave no hint of whether it would be bloody or beautiful or both."
A steampunk city in a dystopian future, replete with orcamancers, a narrator in the wind, and a young adult with ambitions to be a crime boss. There are more characters sure, but their POVs seem all over the place until the world building is firmly in place and 30-40% of the book is read upto.
Blackfish City was a hell of a ride! The city of Qaanaaq was a rude reminder that human greed will never be sated, not even when the climate change has left more than half the world submerged. Did I mention that the story is fantastic and I eventually warmed up to the unexpected 'Ohana' vibe of the book?!
