Alien Pleasures and Earthly Hells [5 Books Reviewed]

Reviews8

Disliked

I found it a little prosaic and a little a little too close to Adventure fiction and lacked the bite of Palace of Eternity a Space Opera that I've advocated for from the hilltops many times it just didn't have that same specialness it just felt a little a little more cardboard a little more predictable

Loved

a genuinely just incredible novel it's one of the best pieces of fiction that I've ever read it's gr Ing and utterly brutal and definitely a hard read but it's a book that deserves a lot more attention and a claim

Mixed

the first bit of the book is great dish portrays that pathetic element of Life under the loving thumb of the aliens in a really funny and sickening way and then the novel just takes this we'll call it a dog leg sorry turn into total implausibility and slapstick
