Bodega: Tales from the Bodegaverse by Edward Forsyth
5.0
Suppassed all expectations!
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't expecting anything more than just a general shit post for this, I'd heard a couple stories from the podcast but not too many. This genuenly though was a well crafted story, with a well thought out galaxy and characters.
Yeah it's dumb, got some stupid moments and can't be taken overly seriously, but that's really enjoyable.
A lot of stories fall into the trap of "here's a main character. Here's a world around said character.". For bodega, this is not true in the slightest. The universe around him has history, different cultures, loads of characters all with their own stories to tell.
The first part of the book is the sort of disconnected ramblings from the podcast, the writing is a little all over the place and the story isn't too connected. However it quickly picks up pace and tightens in an unexpected way. Edward has more of a knack for writing then it first seems!
Genuenly well worth a read for yognaughts and non-yognaughts alike.
