I'm going to quote the description from Penguin site bc it perfectly summarizes this one:
“Ogres are bigger than you. Ogres are stronger than you. Ogres rule the world.
It's always idyllic in the village until the landlord comes to call. Because the landlord is an Ogre. And Ogres rule the world, with their size and strength and appetites. It's always been that way. It's the natural order of the world. And they only eat people sometimes. (CONT)
pickI loved this 2023 nominee for the Hugo Best Novella award. It seems at first a fairy-tale-like fantasy novel but turns out to be quite different, as secrets about the world are slowly revealed to both the protagonist and reader. It's also told in an unusual second-person voice.

Ogres by Adrian Tchaikovsky … 5⭐️! I loved this novella so much I bought the signed edition! Great book! Thank you @NetGalley and @RebellionPub
pick📚Adrian Tchaikovsky is quickly becoming an auto buy author for me!
I loved this book! I pre-ordered the hardcover last week.
Dystopian world. Humans are serfs/slaves to genetically superior Ogres! Yes! Ogres! There are twists & turns.
Torquell is the rebellious son of the Ogre‘s human head man and makes a dangerous mistake that sends him on the run for his life.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 👇🏻
pickIt took a bit to get into the second person narrative. It is a style I don't see often and it reads oddly for me. But wow did that last couple of pages make up for it!
This was a fun read about normalization and rebellion, it gave me some Hunger Games vibes (not the games themselves but the revolution aspect)
Thanks to Edelweiss for the ARC this novella release is expected on March 22, 2022
Ogres | 
Ogres is written in the unusual POV of second person & when you realize why it is a jaw-dropping, holy shit moment. This is my second Tchaikovsky (other one was Service Model) & I think that he is great at light handed satire (CONT) 4w
