A review by curgoth
All the Windwracked Stars by Elizabeth Bear
5.0
Original Review:
This book starts with the end of the world, and goes from there. The thing I love most about Bear's writing is, I think, that all her characters seem like people I know - or people I would know, if my friends and I were post-human vikings. I am eagerly awaiting the next book in this series.
Audio re-read:
Nine years later, still like it. Bear does character so very well. She also writes from "how are these characters broken" as the key to understanding characters. This time through, I found that method to be a little more jagged and raw than the first time through - the amount of damage at the heart of all the characters was a little more than I felt was strictly necessary. Still good, but Bear has written better stuff.
