Anyone here participating in this year’s r/fantasy book bingo? How’s it going if so?
Attached a pic of my card so far. Working my way through Red Sister currently and quite enjoying it, turns out this Mark Lawrence guy is pretty good.
Edit: just realised I said “this year’s” bingo when this may in fact be “the last” bingo. Oh well.
I think the blurb sets up a bad set of expectations. “Lesbian necromancers in space” makes it seem like a Sci-Fi/Fantasy LGBT+ romance novel. Instead you get a mystery in a setting that is only technically science-fantasy with a vague romance side plot.
The ending isn’t happy, that is for sure.
This is both off-putting and yet still intriguing for me. I’ll definitely have to give it a go soon and see how it hits me.
