Sami Sundell reviewed An Unkindness of Ghosts by Rivers Solomon
Review of 'An Unkindness of Ghosts' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Imaginative dystopia combines lore with science
A tale of a generational ship searching for Heavens, Solomon's story combines science-fictional setting with the slow degeneration of society. The class system, the theocratical military dictatorship and the suppression of knowledge form a bleak view of the future, but still people manage. Aster, forever a loner, changes the world with her thirst for knowledge and perseverance.
I liked the way Solomon tells the story, how they let their characters find their strength even from their weakness. The rhythm of the story is impeccable, only gripe I have with it is the slight haste in the final sequence.
