Lessons in Magic and Disaster | Charlie Jane Anders

The only thing better than a new Charlie Jane Anders book is wining an ARC in a Goodreads giveaway and getting an early look at it. Excited to start reading!

Please forgive my lack of review and embrace this heavily edited quote from the novel that bled my heart dry:
'a story about nature, change, and chasing your own heart's desire in spite of everyone else's expectations...about the games we play along the cliff edge. About nature encroaching in the places that people have left behind...about the trade-offs between security and self-determination, and [the] struggle to find a way to have both.'

everlocalwest It may seem trite to have a character pour over the novel's themes but when it comes as a point of intellectual and philosophical revelation to a character that has felt so torn, it's like Charlie Jane reaches into the reader's heart, gives a gentle squeeze, and says 'this is what art can do.' There's joy in spite of pain and the everyday reality that just being who you are is a fierce act of creation and resistance. I loved this novel. 20h

Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author Charlie Jane Anders casts her most powerful spell here—transforming the raw ingredients of grief, generational trauma, smear campaigns, and transphobia, with queer love, community organizing, and the heart‘s truest desires to craft a deeply relevant, resonant, painful, and healing masterwork, charged through with unwavering realism and unwieldy magic, and an 18th century literary mystery bubbling up from below!

monalyisha Oh wow! VERY excited for this. Now, to wait until August…😩 2mo
