Sean Randall reviewed The speed of dark by Elizabeth Moon
Review of 'The speed of dark' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
This was a book certainly worth its cost: Moon's a prolific author and this is, I'm sure, a great way to get into her style of writing.
The idea behind the treatment available for the main character isn't approached with any rapidity or sense of urgency, things are more tactful and intraspective. There's also a fantastic "in-the-head" view, which is great, but of course its a portrayal of disability, and being disabled oneself, I know how demanding the disabled community can be in the exactitude of its depiction. I'm not Autistic, so enjoyed it for the story which was quite fascinating and the character viewpoint which was very intriguing, subtle, powerful and deep.
