Boston - usually #SFF, #GraphicNovels, and #Fiction. Eldritch Millennial.
12th Century Indian Ocean historical fiction with a female protagonist pirate captain, queer characters, demons and sea monsters, swordfighting, and dry humor - its a romp! If the planned trilogy happens, and this takes off, I see film potential in this story.

Well researched, can be dry, I dipped in and out of various chapters. There's so much focus on Boston's roles in the revolutionary war, but our more recent history is very relevant to contemporary boston area organizers. Recommend especially for folks active in the boston area housing/environmental organizing scene.

@rednikki@toot.boston same, taking precious book-reading time to do a reread like a year later ^_^
reread, this time a physical copy rather than audiobook.

First read. Confusing and surely a product of the mid 90s / this must have been a revelation when it came out. Slow parts, some pages I skipped over entirely; unexpected n-slurs, how times have changed. Ish 12 hit me like a truck, I can’t recall any other comic book leaning so hard into a nonlinear narrative, jarring. Must be post-Pulp Fiction. I didn’t get it before and now I get what they’re maybe aiming for here. Volume 2 queued up.

A delightful listen. Looking forward to re-watching the #Miyazaki interpretation, and reading some more #DianaWynneJones
