Please take care before you decide to read it! It is harrowing, it is dense, and it is blunt and graphic in its depictions of violence (trigger warnings can be found at the bottom of my review). Following the mysterious death of their leader, Aster finds herself the key to this mystery – and may be the tinder that will ignite revolution within the spacecraft.īefore I tell you all why you should read this book, I also think it’s important for me to start with the caveats.įirst, this book is not easy to read. The story follows Aster, a lower-class healer that lives abroad the HSS Matilda, a colossal generation ship that is carrying the remnants of humanity to the ‘Promised Land’ after Earth’s decimations centuries ago. Second, despite the importance of what this book explores and its insightful storytelling and worldbuilding, this book is not for everyone – or, requires some emotional and mental preparation before delving into this rich and dark story. An Unkindness of Ghosts is stellar, hard-hitting, but absolutely brutal, honest in its depictions of systemic oppression and its machinations.
