karinlib 's review for:
Blackfish City
by Sam J. Miller
Dystopian literature is hit or miss with me. Slow start with good world-building, and yet the ending went by almost too quickly.
I'm not going review the plot here, because I am not sure I can do it justice. The book is dark and gritty with interesting characters some with familiars (who wouldn't like polar bears and Killer whales as familiars).
I found one confusing issue. One of the characters is gender-fluid, and they used the word "they" as the pronoun, which I quickly adapted. The problem was when the word was used traditionally, I had stop and think, which POV am I reading right now? It stopped the reading flow.
