Dont think this is a bad book it's just not for me. Missing depth to the plot and characters making descisions besides fleeing from the cops.

Really liked the stories in this one but this is the first time I really got something from the non-fiction essays (more to do with me being a book nerd and not a game and movie nerd than the quality of the stories). Discussions of books within books, southern gothic and regency as a romance genre. I think my favorite is It Is a Truth Universally Acknowledged That We Shall Return Once Again to the Regency
by Natania Barron. 

Maybe I'm to tired but I'm absolutely unable to follow this book. Or lacking some kind of literary training or analysis to make sense of this story.

Generation ships are one of my favorite tropes. This idea of a failing one found really interesting. The world was original and the storytelling compelling.

Almost disappointed with how much of a happily ever after there was but that might just be me.

Two lesbian assassins who go after the same mark without knowing? That’s the kind of (romantic) suspense book I’ve been waiting for.
First the romance and relationship felt really rushed and more based on instant attraction than anything else. But that might also be because the literary flirting was hard to follow as a non-anglophone.
The mystery and suspense was much better. It felt like reading a spy novel based in Mexico City. The environment felt rich and so did the plot. But like a spy movie it’s better not to question most of the actions of the main characters. (Like why is nobody tracking cell phones? What about the CCTV? How are they getting away with it all?).
In summary is was a fun fast action packed read but the romance could have had more depth.

Thank you Ylva Publishing for the ARC, as always all my opinions are my own. 

I finished this in one sitting! I think it will be a while before I approach a mushroom without thinking of this story. 
Paul Simard cleans hoarding houses for a living but in this story it will become clear why the biologist's house is his last one. 
I love books that mix proza with nature, so this book spoke to me on that level. But the human element about grief, hoarding and loneliness were aso really well done. The way this book mixes all those elements was really unique but also creepy. 

Thank you RA Busby for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. 

For some reason this edition feels more Uncanny than previous issues I've read. My favorite by far was Markets of the Otherworld.
