Readers of SF mysteries inflected with sapphic romance and political or corporate shenanigans, such as Lady Eve’s Last Con by Rebecca Fraimow and Station Eternity by Mur Lafferty, will become entangled in the latest from de Bodard (Fireheart Tiger).
This stunning collection showcases de Bodard’s lush worldbuilding, meticulous research, and emotional prose. Whether fans of sf or fantasy, readers will find something to dive into here.
De Bodard's Aztec fantasy trilogy is also a noir mystery that follows the adventures of Acatl, High Priest of the Dead, as he investigates mysterious crimes...
The large cast of characters gives this series entry less emotional heft than the initial volume, but it is still a fascinating world with a welcome diversity of cultures and sexualities.
De Bodard (author of award-winning short fiction as well as the "Obsidian and Blood" novels) has spun a fascinating Paris of decay and cruelty. Phillippe is a marvel of a character, unreliable as a narrator but compelling in his flaws and his deep well of homesickness. [See Eric Norton's sf/fantasy genre spotlight feature, p. 22.—Ed.]
