Scarlet Morning, Book 1: Scarlet Morning | ND Stevenson

pick

Spectacular adventure with one major caveat, apparently it's the FIRST book in a series! Had a decent stopping point, so I'm less aggrieved on the cliffhanger front, but oh dear does it sting that this was published this year, which means I have to WAIT to find out what happens next.
I've done ND Stevenson a great disservice in mostly remembering how the art told the story of Nimona, and thus was initially disappointed that this is 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? a traditional novel instead of a graphic novel, though it does have its share of illustrations. Stevenson's writing is exceptional and I'm so glad I got to experience it in novel form.
I'd say the plot, the characters lean toward adventure, but some of the perils encountered could count as horror genre territory. 3d

Robotswithpersonality 3/? The younger character concerns (a lack of classic teen drama) make me think middle grade, but certain spooky/dark moments make me want to nudge it towards the youngest protagonist's age as minimum reader age (14 years old), aka YA.
If you too sometimes find yourself wishing you could be
In your mid teens watching Pirates of the Carribean for the first time again, I think you will love this as an adult. 3d

Robotswithpersonality 4/? The world-building is imaginative without overwhelming the plot pacing, the adventure ranges across a number of fantastical places, creatures, and people, though it does have a dystopian foundation.
Unsurprising from Stevenson, it's still refreshing to read in a diverse, queer/transnormative world.
Hope is renewed even as we encounter various tragic revelations, and I am eager to find out where the story takes me next.

3d

Robotswithpersonality 5/5 ⚠️Death, violence on page, creepy corrupted animal forms 3d

Inversion of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner?
How delightfully creepy.

This was originally for #riseupreads but we got started late. So glad we went ahead and read it though. Great book. My youngest son really enjoyed it and it‘s usually difficult for him to enjoy books without visuals. I liked a story about the importance of being who you really are. And also having a trans character as the main character.
