I didn't actually know much about this when I began it other than it was sci-fi and a journey in space. To say I wasn't prepared is an understatement. It was pretty brutal, though that is part of the point. The story was definitely interesting and kept me waiting for what was going to happen next. I didn't like the ending because it left me with too many questions open ended. TW for violence against children and adults, SA, and medical details.

This novel is raved about and I am so happy to have finally read it even as it devastated me.
Matilda, a colony spaceship with a racially stratified society (think antebellum south, in space) has been moving among the stars for hundreds of years. Increasing blackouts reveal a plot that Solomon uses to explore ideas of gender, race, class, religion, and the myriad ways we can harm one another.
But seriously, this is a phenomenal book, read it!

An Unkindness Of Ghosts is a hard science fiction novel set on a colony ship from Earth. Solomon creates a large and detailed world with Aster an odd mannered science focused girl who is often ostracized by her fellow passengers.

This was one of the most compelling things I‘ve picked up in ages! And one of the most emotionally difficult. The audio was FANTASTIC!

Despite how popular this book is I really knew nothing about it going in except that I loved the cover art, and I was delighted to discover that this both had a lot to say, and was just a fantastic story.

Thisis outside of what I usually pick, but I have been challenging myself to step outside my comfort zone to hear perspectives I am unfamiliar with. This book was heavy with symbolism and metaphor. It depicts the caste system and how it impacts this futuristic spaceship on its journey to its final destination. I did have a hard time getting into the genre and realized it is ultimately not my thing. I got a little lost throughout.

After reading the Binti trilogy I was craving another space adventure with black characters. This one hit the spot but it is completey different from Binti. I loved how original this story and the characters were. I've never met anyone like Aster before and I found her so strange but relatable in some ways. Very unique, engaging story. I want to read everything by Rivers Solomon now!

Butterfinger I really enjoyed this book. 2y

A generation spaceship, the Matilda, is a recreation of plantation slavery. The lower the decks, the darker your skin, and how you work for a living. Heroine is learning to be a healer while finding out how and why her mother disappeared. Which is the catalyst for a revolution 🔥of sorts. Stubbornness, smarts, hope, and searing sense of injustice for a revelation!

I was not ready for this one to end....and that, in and of itself, tells you a lot about a story. I can definitely see the comparisons to Octavia Butler, and reading it while reading Caste by Isabel Wilkerson and watching the Chauvin Trial, the allusions to slavery and hierarchy in authoritarian societies was very obvious to me. So although it was a dark tale, it was powerful, and I loved the way Solomon articulated thought processes, ⤵️

Riveted_Reader_Melissa ↪️ even difficult ones in such beautiful imagery. The internal workings of these characters with all their unique flaws made this a great character book to read about the horrors of unjust societies. But seriously, what happened next....wait, no, don‘t tell me 😬 3y

An amazing audiobook, and amazing characters and a lot of heavier content. It lulled in places, feeling overly packed sometimes, but I do think that also contributes well to the character of Astra.

TheAromaofBooks Sometimes it's worse to read a book that has a lot of potential that just didn't come together than it is to read a book that's just plain garbage all the way haha I also feel like some debuts get edited better than others?? Sometimes it just feels like the author needed an editor is someone to say, “Hey, I have no idea why these people are here & it makes the whole story feel unbalanced.“ 3y

My January #bookspin (tagged) and #doublespin books.

Bookspin has definitely helped me cull down my stacks of TBRs. And I did not buy a lot of books in the last quarter of 2020. The only books I got were through my 2 subscription boxes, swaps, & gifts.

So here‘s to getting back on track with #bookspin and further reducing my TBR stacks. 🎉 And my January #BFC21 goal of getting a #bookspin bingo.

I wanted to like this book. I liked aspects of it. The overall premise was intriguing and very promising (a slave ship set in the stars). But there were a lot of parts that just left me feeling pretty unmoved. Parts that seemed like they should‘ve been important or emotionally evocative but mostly just fell flat, unrelatable characters with few redeeming qualities and when the ending came and I was just like ‘what?‘

Rating this story is hard. This book is hard. There is so much violence and awful things happening and yet I couldn‘t look away from it all. Aster is a fascinating character but the narrative is tough and the ending just really left me feeling hanging. I‘d be careful in who I recommend this book to, personally.
I did this as an audio, I‘m not sure if I‘d been reading it in book format on my own I‘d have been able to finish it.

This is a scifi which explores sexuality, gender indentity and slavery in space. The world building in this is fab, everything was so vivid which wasn't the best as theres some truly disturbing scenes in these pages.
Full disclosure, im not an own voices reader of this book and while I enjoyed this i know a ton of stuff went over my head, having just read some spoiler reviews from own voices im blown away with their insight.

#94 of my year. Ordered both of these from MahoganyBooks and I‘m going to read Keep It 100, one affirmation a day for 100 days, and while I‘m doing that I will be reading An Unkindness! I‘m listening to Somebody by Hurts 💁🏻‍♀️

Caffeinated_Reader 😭😭😭😭😭 that ending. This story was so good. It was full of humor and complicated characters and terrible situations. It was full of characters you couldn‘t help but love. Giselle was one of my top favorite. My heart broke for her because she was so broken but she tried. She was exactly who she needed to be. And I love her. Aster was so literal and smart. I‘m so happy the girls in her bunk had her. I definitely recommend this book. 4y
Caffeinated_Reader ‼️‼️‼️Update on Keep It 100~ I bailed on it. It‘s not my cup o tea. I don‘t feel inspired by it or even compelled to read it further. Life is too short to waist on books that are just meh 💁🏻‍♀️ 4y

I enjoyed this book, but it's more dystopian than I typically enjoy. The world-ship & society are vividly portrayed, & characters are interesting. It's not an easy read, set in a space society where black slavery is alive and well. I enjoyed having a neuro-atypical protagonist & LGBTQ+ characters. Warnings for suicide, rape, abuse, mental illness, and others. #lgbtqauthors #lgbtq #scifi #queerbook #pocauthors #bipoc

11 books had LGBTQIA+ characters.
Of those, 5 would be considered "own voice." 2 memoirs - Will Schwalbe and George Takei, but both had to deal with families, not solely on themselves.
Favorite is a tie between The End of Your Life Book Club and An Unkindness of Ghosts (sci-fi).
Shout Out to Cassandra Clare who has many characters who are very important to the plot - not filling space. Love Magnus/Alex

This book has so much...
*A neurodiverse character who identifies as a genderqueer
*A doctor who identifies as transgender
*A generational ship that is divided by race and each race has certain jobs/shifts
*Dictator who plays god - leads topdeckers into dehumanizing and degrading the bottom deckers
*A rebellion

And it was BRILLIANT!

Book 3 of #newyearwhodis - The HSS Matilda left Earth 300 years ago in search of a new planet. The ship runs on slavery, with dark-skinned people on the lower decks and light-skinned people on the upper decks. Aster, a healer, lives on the lower decks and may have found a way to initiate change.
I loved this book. It‘s dark and not an easy read at all, but it is gripping. The characters are well written and diverse. Highly recommend!

I finished my first book from the #NewYearWhoDis list from @sebrittainclark and I really enjoyed it.

This is a very dark sci-fi set on a spaceship that has been fleeing the destroyed Earth for 300 years. Society onboard strongly resembles the antebellum south and slavery powers the ship. Not an easy read, but I loved the diverse characters and the writing is excellent. Thanks for a great rec, Sarah!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

saresmoore I loved this book! I agree it was a tough & dark read, but I appreciated how Solomon didn‘t pull any punches and didn‘t let any of their characters become clichés. 4y
