Reading: A Starbound Solstice
Dec. 22nd, 2021 04:32 pmI was scrolling through Twitter last week when I saw a mention of Juliet Kemp's new novella, A Starbound Solstice. It was described as "a festive space queer romance", and sounded like an ideal seasonal read, so I bought a copy and managed to start it yesterday, on the actual solstice.
A Starbound Solstice is set aboard a colony ship, halfway through its 70-year journey from Earth to a new planet. With most people on board in cryosleep, the five humans on shift as crew are planning a solstice celebration when something strange happens to the ship's AI and to their alien crewmate. It's a hopeful and optimistic story, full of kindness and people working together to solve problems. Perfect winter reading!
