Ugh, sorry, I mean I didn’t like Age of Wonders. I loved Gift Upon the Shore. Sorry, clarity.

Wren. Told in the present (aftermath) and past (process), and really wonderful.

I like it. Wondering if we are in such right now. How come I keep following litlove in comments? I have always thought the title and cover art of this did not match it’s plot description (haven’t read it yet.) um…
oh! you have a ‘ friend the Enthusiast’? LOVE this term, too. cool.

I’ve read other reviews of this novel and they’ve mostly been mixed-ish tending to good. I really like the premise and I also like the idea of watching humanity fall down the slippery slope (well, I don’t LIKE it exactly, more that it has literary potential). But I’m still afraid I’ll have screaming nightmares and start obsessing about the length of the day. I am more than capable of that.

Even a book I wouldn’t touch with a ten-foot pole gets an insightful treatment. I love the term “process dystopoia” and will keep an eye out for it – although I think it could be argued that lots of books (and even real life) involve people having to figure out how to cope with ever-changing circumstances and create something like normalcy.

…Science confuses me. Yet I love it.

Shouldn’t they be floating around?
