#BookPride21: Week 2, 'The Red Threads of Fortune" by Neon Yang

I'm overlooking that this book was released some time ago, because the four parts of Yang's Tensorate Series have been compiled for release in late September. The first novella got a few Hugo nominations. I can recommend picking up the series if you get the chance - Book 28 has it so grab it when we're open for lending. 

The book, and the series as a whole, is refreshingly short. I am not intimidated by bulky fantasy books but was glad to be able to slip this in  smaller bags and larger pockets. Yang writes twins well. Akeha and Mokoya are distinct from the outset. The dynamic between the two is fleshed out and realistic. The depiction of transitioning while having a twin in the first novella was super. 

I don't think I've read any other silkpunk books but I will be reading more. My sister is in Singapore. It was comforting to read a book which drew inspiration from the their and from S/ SE Asia while I can't see her.

On Sunday 18th of July, Book 28 will be hosting a session reading exerts from the book.
