Half the Day is Night by Maureen F. McHugh
3.0
I don’t want to repeat what everyone else has already said about this book, but: it’s not China Mountain Zhang. It feels unfair to compare any book to that absolute master piece but I can't help it.
I liked Half the Day is Night alright but I wasn’t blown away by it. The world building was quite interesting, I wasn’t crazy about the characters but they were solid, and the story was fine but perhaps not really my thing.
The writing style wasn’t that far removed from China Mountain Zhang and I actually enjoyed it, but damn where was the editor in all of this?! It could’ve used some polishing and no book should have this many mistakes.
And reminder for myself: helium voices. All of it.
