Review of 'Archivist wasp' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Yeah, this is a strange one, almost unclassifiable at parts, and more power to it. Kornher-Stace’s novel is wonderfully dense in concept and execution, and as a feat of literary world-building it ranks with the best of [a:China Miéville|33918|China Miéville|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1243988363p2/33918.jpg] and [a:Neil Gaiman|1221698|Neil Gaiman|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1234150163p2/1221698.jpg]. It’s also a penetrating examination of the subjectivity of memory and the inevitable toil absence and loss take on us all. Plus, Archivist Wasp is a crackling fantasy adventure, rich with strong characterizations, vivid action, and emotionally satisfying narrative.
