Birthing Orion by Dax Murray
3.0
I am very upset that this wasn’t amazing. Lesbian space goddesses? How can you go wrong with that premise? But this is a novel in verse, and it just didn't work for me. The poetry didn't blow my mind or make me feel anything particularly strongly. It was okay, but if you've read the blurb then you've already read the best line in the entire book:
And you should get more out of an entire book than you get out of its blurb. So this might be the book for you if you love novels in verse, but if you don't feel strongly about them as a genre this book probably won't wow you.
Too fondly have I loved these stars;
all these galaxies we once called ours.
