bekkabergamot 's review for:
Escaping Exodus
by Nicky Drayden
4.5 Stars Rounded Up
This book was one of the most unique stories I have ever read. It forces the reader to let go of the Western hetero-normative reality many of us, including myself, use to view the world. Instead Drayden offers readers an Afro-futuristic matriarchal society where family have multiple wives and husband's, where women are the strong ones and men the stay at home spouse. This story is set in space and set inside the belly of a space beast -- it's wild. However, at the end of the day, it is also a coming of age story and certainly a first love story.
This book does what fantasy and science fiction is supposed to do: it bends reality, while providing something tangible and humanly familiar. Bravo!
