Interesting worldbuilding and plotting, and an intriguing main character
Synopsis: An âangelâ, of indeterminate origin and purpose, is trapped on Earth, and they try to help achieve positive outcomes for human beings while endeavoring to find a way back âhomeâ.
What I thought: This novel opens in media res, and itâs one of those books that leaves a lot unexplained, and the reader has to figure out the background from the clues given as events progress. The main character is one for whom the reader can feel empathy, and there is some intriguing worldbuilding and plotting here.
I wanted to like this a lot more than I actually did. It would probably benefit from a second reading, but thatâs not in the cards for me right now, given everything else on my reading list for Hugo Nominations. If there's a sequel, I will probably do a re-read, then pick up the second one, because there's enough here that's unique and interesting to make it worth another go.
If the synopsis appeals to you, I encourage you to give this book a try.
Brilliant SF Thriller
A brilliantly mind-warping, fast-paced science fiction thriller starring, among others, a powerful angel, a fifty-ish Scottish veterinarian who also does cross-stitch, a massive carnivorous quetzlcoatlus, a briefcase containing other dimensions, and a doctor whose timeline has been split by blood and oil. It's all so gripping and so much FUN - and so funny, too, at times! - that I couldn't stop reading. It's not my usual kind of read, but I loved it.
Hard SF combines with sci-fi adventure
Writer Tricia Sullivan has written tons of stuff, and now I need to read it all. Occupy Me is the first in a new series, and it is at times brutal, at other times uplifting. It's an action movie in book form. It moves quickly, and creates a complex world that needs saving. The female hero is enigmatic even to herself. Right there, because of her, you'll need to read this book. More than just that, Sullivan clearly is saving up for the next chapter in the series. But this one hit me right in the emotions. I need more of this, right now.
Too much going on, I found the plot and characters very hard to follow. Disappointing.
I thought this book was going to be one I could not finish, but I persisted in the hope I might begin to enjoy it more. For me, this is one of those novels that had huge potential to be fantastic but the execution let it down badly.
