The Water That Falls on You from Nowhere: A Tor.Com… door John Chu

Interesting premise.

How To Piss Off A Failed Super-Soldier door John Chu

I'm honestly not even sure what it is that I've just read. I mean I DO but... Not really?

The story itself is okay, but the writing style is really weird and didn't work for me well. Too simplistic? Short sentences feel too abrupt and a little disjointed.

My emotional involvement was practically nonexistent, mostly. It's just... flat. So very very flat.

Well, this was a letdown.

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND

The Water That Falls on You from Nowhere: A Tor.Com… door John Chu

A bittersweet story. More magical realism than scifi, though.

The Water That Falls on You from Nowhere: A Tor.Com… door John Chu

This love story is just so pure and heartwarming, I didn’t want it to get over. Gus is a sweetheart and Matt maybe a bit scared but his heart is true. I liked everyone except Matt’s sister and I don’t care if she loves him, but she is a bully.

I also liked how fascinating this world was, and how everyone had to maneuver the way they spoke, hedging between truth and lies, so that they don’t get drenched in water. It’s a real dilemma and makes us realize how difficult it is to be truthful 100% of the time. I’m just amazed at how much the author was able to convey in such a small story and can totally understand why this won the Hugo.… (meer)
