A review by phoenixs
Blackfish City by Sam J. Miller
4.0
I’m hovering between a 3.5 to a 4, for this one. Like my reading buddy partner Liv, I think the themes are wonderful and so relevant for our current age. I love this queer cyberpunk world and the discourse it explores. I also love the characters and their natural interactions (they felt less like stand-ins for major themes and more realistic). I’ve known people like Barron and Soq (minus the more extreme plot-points they’re involved in, of course).
We need more cyberpunk like this. I wish this was a duology so I could see how Qaanaq develops after the climax of this novel. I’m going to have to seek out “Calving” now and see how this narrative started as a short story.
Needless to say, I want to follow Miller’s work from here on out.
