Elise wants to read Chromatic Fantasy by H.A.
for book club
Reviews and Comments
She/Her. 20s. Most of my reading is trying to keep up with my book club. On my own I like SF/F, trans lit and sapphic romance, as well as some non-fiction about topics I find fascinating. This includes dance music, videogames, computers and the occult. I also try to read theory, classics and more academic works, though I've struggled with that since I was young. I track my manga reading seperately. My main fedi is currently @throatmuppet@xyzzy.link.

Elise commented on El escape cubano by Mira Canion
48 pages : 18 cm
Really love that they thought THIS was good material to make into a spanish learner's reading. This reads like propaganda and it feels like it. It's at least interesting and is helping me learn spanish when I come to it, but the depravity of american soft power knows no bounds.

YA fantasy has come a long way since I was the intended audience, huh not my usual thing, but I'm glad to have read it. Will report back with more thoughts after book club.

There are so many currents of thought pulling this narrative along. it's really quite stimulating. It's not just any one thing, to square it into any kind of particular genre literature would fail to do it justice. There's alt history angles to this, there's the boarding school primary story, there's the indigenous story, there's fantasy realism going on.
it's giving just a hint of Disco Elysium; that same feeling like you might have just a had a stroke, and everything as you knew it is the same but also different somehow...
