Escaping Exodus by Nicky Drayden

4.0

This was so fascinating to get into, and I ended up reading it in two sittings. I loved the concept of moving an entire civilization from the literal bellies of beasts in order to survive in space. The use of a matriarchal society was also fascinating. Drayden providing a society that treats men as second-class citizens does a brilliant job at showing how utterly ridiculous gender-based discrimination and limitations truly are. The world-building was spectacular, from the familial structures to the dialects to the description of the beast. I’m looking forward to continuing with Nicky Drayden’s work.
