It's that feeling when you read about two people who have been through some deep shit together and they finally permit themselves to have just a tiny sliver of tenderness and hope.

I'm still thinking about it even though I finished awhile ago, about the lengths to which these characters and not just the main duo, but the whole team, so to speak will go to help each other, despite the wounds between them. So like, I could tell you a lot about this book. I could tell you to read it if you feel like the fantasy you've been reading recently feels a bit same-y, because this one is completely different from whatever else you've read.

I could tell you about the blood-soaked rituals to appease eldritch horror beings, the perils of body-sharing, the cold sea air vibes, the array of untrustworthy, unsavory individuals that our heroes have to deal with on their journey, all of whom introduce new facets of this world and how its wonders can be used for ill. I could tell you about all those things but they don't change the real reason you should read this, which is: the characters and their relationships.

I think a lot about "cozy" as a descriptor for books-- not usually my thing, but no judgment here-- and I want to suggest something different for you. Some books give you a cozy feeling because they're like a warm cottage in a sunny forest, so the entire world that they occupy feels safe and comfortable, as well as the stories inside them. But some books give you a cozy feeling because the story creates a shelter against a raging storm-- because the world of the story is harsh, cold, and unfeeling, but the characters have huddled together against it and kept a small fire alive.

If a book makes me feel cozy, that's usually why-- because I don't recognize a world that isn't trying to eat me alive, that's just not something I can get my brain on board with, but what I long for and what I've loved in this hard world we live in are the moments when I, wounded by life, find solace with people who care about me imperfectly but earnestly.

That's essentially what these characters do, they carry all their hurts and weaknesses and failures into this space they make together, and take care of each other. Now, does it work all the time? Does it work in the end? I'm not going to spoil it for you. But the feelings are real, and complex, and hard won. All of it stank wholly of deliberate smoke-- the thing humans called incense.

Humans were seldom up to anything good when they burned things on purpose. This book sits very nicely in the tradition of th All of it stank wholly of deliberate smoke-- the thing humans called incense. This book sits very nicely in the tradition of the "alien observes humanity" POV-- this involves a kind of "other" figure, usually an alien, making unintentionally humorous observations about humanity as they become better acquainted with us.

Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy. Shesheshen isn't an alien, she's a monster, but her position in the story is the same. She is an observer, and often a confused one, whose position as an outsider gives her tremendous insights, both humorous and deeply profound, sometimes at the same time.

She's also wearier than you usually see with this type of narrator, because she's lived near humanity and feasted upon it, naturally for quite some time, and it's always trying to kill her, and she doesn't understand what its DEAL is, and really, isn't that the most goddamn relatable thing you've ever heard. This book is about her journey toward connectedness-- coming of age, but the exact opposite of the typical coming of age narrative, which involves setting out on your own and forming your identity independently of the systems that raised you to adulthood.

This coming of age is about trust, vulnerability, and understanding-- about what we might call 'becoming human' if we believed that becoming human was actually all that great, and I don't think Shesheshen does. I often talk about science fiction and fantasy exploring things through exaggeration, and depending on who I'm talking to, I get a sort of puzzled look a lot of the time-- but this is exactly what I mean.

Fantasy isn't just an escape, though it is often that and truly, thank god for that. But fantasy also makes things bigger and more extreme or dramatic so that you can actually look at them. That's what Shesheshen does with humanity, with love, with family, with the exhausting and horrifying but meaningful task of knowing someone and being known.

You can see them all, at last, because she shows them to you in a strange new way. This book is about her. Her voice, and also her body-- the inventive, sometimes gross, fascinating way that her body operates. This is the second book I've read recently where I felt like someone understood how to write about a being that wasn't a human, and to show the inevitable conflicts and tensions that would arise if we encountered something that Wasn't Us-- a real alien figure, not just some humanoid guy in a rubber mask.

The other was The Stardust Grail , which is also excellent and you should read it. Like is Shesheshen's POV relatable? Is she gonna rip out a dead body's esophagus and tell you about it? Also yes. You must simply learn to see through the eyes of the monster. And like. It's really goddamn funny. But in a sly way where you'll have to stop in the middle of a set of deadlifts to laugh at your audiobook.

Or is that just me? I'll leave you with two quotes that weirdly happen to come from the same page but delight me nonetheless: From what she knew of civilization, all children were parasites. You were supposed to grow to like that about them. Two forks were not enough forks for this. The spaghetti was versatile in its resistance. It's like an evasive bread.

The Deep Sky was a locked room thriller in which the "locked room" in question was a spaceship, which made the stakes that much higher ; The Stardust Grail is a heist in which the setting for the heist is a system of planets, and the stakes are, you know, the survival of a species. Here, the focus is on a friendship between two people of very different species, and their ways of being are impossibly mysterious to each other, which is sometimes just amusing and sometimes It feels like an exaggeration of any friendship between people of different backgrounds, that we can love each other without perfect understanding, but our love doesn't keep us safe from conflict.
