blankpagealex 's review for:
Blackfish City
by Sam J. Miller
I am back and forth between 2 and 3 stars on this one (wish it would let me do 2 1/2).
I appreciated Miller's world-building and thought there were some interesting ideas about Qaanaaq and what society after the downfall of America would look like amid climate collapse.
However, the characters were a little undercooked for me. Even though they come from different backgrounds and are vastly different ages, they all speak mostly the same. Cover the chapter title and you probably wouldn't instantly know whose POV each chapter is from based on style alone.
Also, the climactic rescue did not have the stakes that it probably needed.
