The Sudden Appearance of Hope
by Claire North
It's exciting and engaging and interesting and very well thought out and basically everything I've come to expect from Claire North. It's nice to see her write a female character, and Hope is likeable enough, even if I got tired of the dictionary definitions, and even though she never kissed any of the women that she was very clearly in love with. I guess I'll live.

Bumping it up to five stars on the re-read, either because I appreciate it more the second time around, or because I've read so many mediocre books it looks that much better. Either way, it's so sharp and imaginative and clever and well-paced. It stays just shy of pretension, though you can see the line to devolution that the next books by the author take. It's just so enjoyable to read, every inch of it.
