A review by olosta
Remnant Population, by Elizabeth Moon
5.0
This was simply a delightful book.
First, the main character: I could count on one hand how many books I've come across with women protagonists (even) over 40.
Second: not only she's an old woman, she written so well! Deep, complex, she get due what she deserves as a character, she's written with real care.
Third: the other characters. Every one is distinct and unique.
Fourth: the story. It's just the right mix of action and description, an ideal pace that I love in books.
There's humour too, subtly entwined in the text.
And it has, hands down, one of the best ending sentences I've seen in a book.
