A review by chan_fry
An Unkindness of Ghosts by Rivers Solomon

5.0

If Solomon’s debut is any indicator of their forthcoming works, they will soon be recognized as a top-tier author. This novel was powerful — a pleasure to read despite the sometimes brutalizing pain oozing from the pages. “It is not a happy book”, as an NPR review noted, yet it’s “like a vaccine”, which sometimes hurts a bit but is well worth it.

Though the style is all Solomon, parts of the story arc reminded me of Heinlein’s Orphans Of The Sky and some of the mood reminded me of Citizen Of The Galaxy — connections that kept popping up in my brain as I read.

This is a must-read.
