Jemisin writes really good short stories. I saw it on sale recently, so I picked it up and finally read it. It’s a book that has been angling for my attention for a while, is what I’m getting at. A girl with some of the coolest-looking hair I’ve ever seen was reading it on the bus across the aisle from me last month (it looked very similar to the hair of the lady on the cover, actually), which doesn’t really have anything to do with the book’s literary quality but is definitely a point in its favor. Many of my friends have read it, and recommended it. Sometimes I feel that way with full novels, too, but it’s more common with short stories because, you know, they’re short.īlack Future Month managed to get through my lack of care for the form, by virtue of how many good things I’ve heard about it. I always feel like I’m being torn away from these characters I’ve just gotten to know and love before I’m really ready to go. I’ve just finished reading How Long ‘til Black Future Month? by N.K. (This review was written before I launched the review site)
