juliusmoose 's review for:
City of Lies
by Sam Hawke
Another book where I was hoping for gay stuff but instead we're just bros for life. There were some minor queer characters.
The opening was pretty great, there's a mystery, I spent a lot of the book being like, what is going on and how will this be resolved.
One of the things going on is oppression of the workers out on the estates, and the tension between people for whom the current system is working and those for whom it's not.
The main characters are both disabled: the brother has what's pretty clearly OCD, the sister it's less obvious to me, some combination of asthma and rheumatoid arthritis maybe? I liked the way they both work with and around these disabilities. I would have liked it if there were more clearly any other disabled folk around, not like it's just these two in the Entire City-State. I dunno, maybe that was implied and I missed it?
