Solstice von Ulises Silva
In a riff on the concept of Death Note, here is a world where scribes are the people who can rewrite reality. Editors are the mysterious check on the scribes and Io is the most crazy/violent one of the bunch. I'm not sure if it was more anxiety inducing than exciting - there was more bloody violence than I usually prefer - but it is the apocalypse with a super-scribe bent on ending the world in violence, death and regret. There are some awkward moments when the author keeps referring to Io, later Itzli repeatedly by her race and I don't think I've ever heard anyone use the word motherhood as an anatomical term. I liked that it was female-centric and it was a pretty good roller-coaster ride.… (mehr)
I really liked this book. The story was original, and the characters were believable. There were some moments I saw coming, but in the end I was surprised.
I'm not going to lie, I had quite a few emotions at the ending.
I really wish this were made into a movie or TV show.
Id definitely recommend.

Thing is, despite the many problems with the book, it could be something with a good editor and a large re-write. Add a little nuance to the characters. Cut the floridness from an 11 to a 10. Move up some of the storyline into the first 100 pages. Do that and this would be a decent book. But in this form it’s unreadable, and I stopped at page 93.
