cblgh@bookwyrm.social reviewed A Half-Built Garden by Ruthanna Emrys
Queer solarpunk first-contact sci-fi
4 stars
As the title says: queer solarpunk first-contact sci-fi!
Recommended for anyone that liked:
- the first book of the Wanderer series by Becky Chambers
- for anyone solar-curious
- for nerds with kids
- for nerds without kids
- for fans of peer-to-peer mesh networks (yes, really)
It definitely has some weird bits, not necessarily in a negative sense. I enjoyed this a bunch and kept telling people about during my travels in the past weeks—so that's probably a better recommendation indicator than anything!
The author even coined a potential subgenre in describing the book: diaperpunk!
