rosalindpoet 's review for:
Semiosis
by Sue Burke
this book contains some of the most extraordinarily dry prose i have ever read; it has almost no variation in sentence structure or figurative language.
despite that, i read it quickly—the plot’s that good. a sapient, symbiotic plant is seriously one of the best alien sci-fi concepts i’ve encountered, and it’s executed well. i was also drawn in by the way the colonists didn’t pine for earth, but adapted to their environment, and focused on it.
tl;dr if you’re willing to slog through the prose, this is worth a read on a conceptual basis.
