Creators: Liked In the solar cities of the future, the humans relax in the sun and the animals work in the shadows. Genetically engineered Little Helpers, serving humanity―unseen, unheard. Meet Skotch. Raccoon, PI―yours for a few buttons as long as the job isn't too illegal, whatever that means. A mouse has gone missing. Normally this wouldn't raise any hackles, nor any alarms, but this mouse has something that everyone seems to want, though nobody appears particularly eager to say what that something is. The fee is good―perhaps too good.* Certainly not something Skotch can easily turn down. If only Skotch can work out where the mouse is hiding, what he’s hiding, and why his secrets are upsetting a lot of animals caught up in the Green City wars.
MixedThe one that didn't quite work out for me, I've brought it up quite a bit recently and every single time I do compliment the setting and that would be Green City Wars. The setting really is, I think, where this book shine. Clearly, Adrian Tchaikovsky thought through pretty much every world building component you can think of.
LovedThis book was fascinating. It had some really great commentary on humanity and our quote and quote laziness, however you want to read that label and just again, the conversations more so about the roles we put on our technology and how we lean on it in order to make our lives easier, but the complexities that can bring.
LikedIt did take a little bit for me to be hooked by the story and I think part of that is just because noir isn't really typically my jam. , but I will say as I got through the story, I think when I hit about the halfway mark, I was so invested in Scotch's journey and how he was going to come out of the situation that he finds himself in.
What made the match, strongest first
