A review by mikehex
Brightness Falls from the Air by James Tiptree Jr.

4.0

I had found this in my library as a teenager and must have read it 5 times. I had no idea about the authors backstory untill after I had moved on. I finally decided to see if it holds up. The answer is... Pretty much, yes.

It reads like a 70s/80s sci fi novel, but I'm not sure how to explain that further. The emotional scenes don't pack quite the punch I remember but it still hot me. The denouement was so long, which also seems uncommon today.

I'm glad I reread it.
