A review by luminous
The Book of the Unnamed Midwife by Meg Elison
4.0
Pleasantly surprised. Audiobook version, so the written tics like "blah = blah" were not very jarring. Being read aloud, it came across as her telling her story over a campfire in a very brusque way. The narrator was excellent.
The long section with Mormons was interesting.
Ellison writes annoying and unlikeable characters unflinchingly while keeping them human. I liked that.
I may be biased because I love end of the world stories. I mean, I rated this the same as Assassin's Quest, even though technically, and emotionally and for sheer scope and depth, it is by far the better book. Oh well! Different kinds of like, I guess. This book's an amazing meal; Assassin's Quest is a year of amazing meals. Both amazing.
