A review by wilt
Wizard by John Varley
Did not finish book. Stopped at 15%.
DNF 15%
i went in expecting it to continue cirocco's journey but instead we get 2 new characters, both with debilitating health issues, who have to prove themselves as heroes in order to earn a cure from gaea. and im sure this is all in the spirit of social commentary and i kind of want to see where varley is going with this, but its dreadfully boring so far and i dont like either character. at all. even though one of them grew up in a moon witch colony coven and literally carries a snake witch-familiar and believes lesbianism to be the natural state of things and doesnt shave her pussy except where she has a tattoo (one among many), i can't stand how they're presented. i expect character development is in the cards, but i just dont care enough to stick around and find out, and in many ways it feels tactless.
miiight try it again in the future but for now im moving on.
