reviewed A Country of Ghosts by Margaret Killjoy (Black Dawn, #2)

Margaret Killjoy: A Country of Ghosts (Paperback, 2021, AK Press)

Dimos Horacki is a Borolian journalist and a cynical patriot, his muckraking days behind him. …

Mediocre

Killjoy is said to be traveling behind Le Guin. But she does not reach the depth Le Guin had in her writings. It's all too easy and too nice and this anarchist society, which seems to make a comparable standard of living as an industrialized society. Nonetheless it's a nice novella with anarchists, so yay!

12th June: I have to revise my rating. The book is better. I just expected more Le Guin. It does a good job of telling an utopia, but ends rather abruptly and the character development is rather shallow.
