A review by casella
Rupetta by Nike Sulway
4.0
Love the writing and a lot of the ideas here. An alternate history following a mechanical woman created in the 1600s and the technological, religious, and political changes that result, with lots of concern for construction of History; the writing is often sensuous, with a wonderful level of detail and texture, alternating with lyric/mythic chapters.
The novel as a whole feels rough though, as though it didn't go through enough of a revision/editing process. Strange changes in tone and level of realism, unnecessarily-confusing action and plot holes.
This was a Think Galactic selection; my meeting notes are available on Positron.
