cudchewing_bovine 's review for:
Everfair
by Nisi Shawl
3.5 out of 5.
Excellent idea: Alternative/speculative fiction set around King Leopold II's reign of terror over the Congo.
It's not that the cast of characters are too large (GRRM'S ASOIAF series comes to mind)-and it's not that I didn't want to love this book-I really did.
The book covers 20 years worth of events and the character's lives so quickly that I don't feel invested in them. The characters are complex and the many topics it covers are so very important and relevant to today, that it seems a shame it feels that I am breezing through the story at such a frighteningly fast clip. It is a shame really, because this is such a wonderful premise.
