Jules reviewed Briarpatch by Tim Pratt
Review of 'Briarpatch' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
I'm disappointed to say this, as Ranger Girl and The Nex are some of my favorite books, but this scores a big fat three star meh. For some reason the characters, plot and world completely failed to grab me - it's not a bad book, just oddly unmemorable. I'm pretty much reduced to reviewing it from a social justice perspective - it gains points for a respectful, consensual sex scene, loses them for a slightly problematic depiction of mental illness, and I'm rather bemused to find that's all I have to say.
