A review by readingwithhippos
All the Birds in the Sky by Charlie Jane Anders

4.0

I don't really know how to classify this book, and I can see how it wouldn't be for everyone, but I really enjoyed the ride through Anders's trippy brain. This is the kind of book that requires a reader who is willing to say yes a lot. A brilliant scientist and a magician who were childhood friends team up to try to save the world? Sure. There's magic spells and curses alongside supertechnical geeky machines? Absolutely. The story is told out of order and jumps around a lot, with big gaps in the timeline? Fine with me. Wrestling with weighty, real-world issues like climate change with a team of witches who convene in a bookshop? Why the heck not. If you can roll with weird, you're in for a treat with this book.
