Currently by Sarah Mensinga
5.0
Such an enjoyable read! This book is full of interesting, multifaceted characters whose interactions drive the plot in surprising directions.
Some of my favorite books are character-driven sf/fantasy that tackle real-world social issues, like Ursula K. Le Guin’s Left Hand of Darkness and Octavia Butler’s Dawn. I feel like Currently is similar in flavor to those books, yet stands out on its own in unique ways.
I‘m a longtime fan of Mensinga’s graphic novel stories, like The Wellington Division and her work in the Flight anthology, and I was happy to find that her storytelling holds up great even without her brilliant art. I’m definitely looking forward to more from this talented author!
