Antimatter Blues, by Edward Ashton
5.0
Pub Date: 03/14/23
CW: minor depictions of violence
Before I dive into my review, I’d like to thank NetGalley and Edward’s publisher for approving me for an eARC.
So first: oops.
And the only reason I say oops is because I requested Antimatter Blues without realizing it was a sequel. I saw the cover, thought “ooh pretty”. Read the description, thought “oh hello”. Hit request.
So. Oops.
But that didn’t really matter, if I’m being honest. Am I a bit mad at myself for not realizing it was a sequel before requesting? Sure. Did it make any difference as I read the book? Ehhh not really. While obviously events from Mickey7 were referenced, I didn’t really find myself struggling to follow along. It’s an incredibly easy book to read and follow along with.
Did I also go get Mickey7 the first chance I got? You fing bet I did.
Mickey’s personality is TOP FRICKIN NOTCH. He’s such a sarcastic little shit I love it and his narration is absolutely the best. I love his character. Edward Ashton did AMAZING with Mickey’s character.
THE STORY?! I MEAN??? YALL??!!
If book two was this good, I can only imagine what book one is gonna be like.
Ugh I am forever envious of some author’s brains. They’re such amazing little globs of goo.
If I could rate this book more than five stars, I would in a heartbeat. No doubts.
PLEASE.
do yourself a favor and buy the series.
