Novel: The Summer Prince
Author: Alaya Dawn Johnson
Rating: 5 out of 5.
This novel grabbed me in the beginning. It let go a little and I almost put it down. I am glad I did not. It was hard for me as it is about Art and the sacrifices made for it. That's harder for me than, say, the economics of space merchants.
Its about a young woman in an arcology in Brazil, dealing with the privileges and challenges of her life. Its about the politics surrounding a system of government with an elected King with one power -- to choose the next Queen, as he is killed by the current Queen.
Its about the end of the world, and shows how it might end.
Its by a DC native two years younger than me, and is a far better piece of art than I've ever created.
