nevclue 's review for:
The Spare Man
by Mary Robinette Kowal
This was a weird book for me. I love the premise of Nick and Nora in space. Yet the execution didn't quite land the way I hoped. Parts of this felt very clunky (love a sci-fi that does interesting gender commentary but the gender neutral politeness here did not work for me--perhaps simply my irrational dislike to Mx. as an honorific). I was torn on Tesla (aka Nora), who absolutely does the right thing by immediately and repeatedly calling her lawyer (this is throwing her money and power around, but calling an excellent lawyer is something everyone should be able to do and that lawyer should then absolutely go to the mat for you), but also was a frustrating detective. Yet I still very much wanted to get to the ultimate reveal.
