verosnotebook 's review for:
Gods, Monsters, and the Lucky Peach
by Kelly Robson
3.5*
Another rather good novella, this time featuring a future where Earth has suffered a devastating ecological disaster and humans are trying to re-built/re-generate the planet. The vision Robson gives us is intriguing, from the technology used to the different ‘classes’ of people.
The two narratives, juxtaposing the far past with the far future into recognisable worlds, work very well together, presenting such different societies, and yet when you come down to it, not that much. That was fascinating, that and having an older woman as the main narrator.
All well and good but we’re just given tantalising morsels when the plate promises so much more! I wonder if this would have worked better as a full novel, especially in light of that ‘end’.
